An alleged drink-driver travelling down one of the student precinct's busiest streets was a "recipe for disaster", police say.
Police Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said a patrol in Castle St North stopped the driver of a Toyota at 10pm last night.
Police allege the 19-year-old driver was drunk and recorded a breath alcohol level of 1037mcg.
His license was suspended for 28 days and he would appear in court.
‘‘Driving this intoxicated along a street with so many students around is a recipe for disaster,’’ Snr Sgt Bond said.
Police would continue to stop and breath test drivers throughout the North Dunedin area.
