A man nearly four times over the legal blood-alcohol limit was arrested in Napier on Friday after he crashed into a parked car.

Sergeant Wendy Wright said the 24-year-old man had a reading of 1502 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath.

The legal limit is 400 micrograms.

"He was a forbidden driver so his vehicle was also impounded, and he's been charged with careless driving because he's hit a parked car," she said.

Ms Wright said speed was not a factor and the man was not injured but "it's amazing he's still alive."

Hedgehog gets police escort

Why did the hedgehog cross the road? Because police stopped traffic to prevent it from being squashed.

Palmerston North police were faced with a prickly problem during a drink-drive blitz on Milson Line on Friday night when a hedgehog tried to cross their checkpoint.

"His reason for crossing the road was not ascertained and he was not breath-tested," Senior Sergeant Brett Calkin said.

About 80 drivers were stopped and breath-tested at the checkpoint, with four found to be over the limit.

They included a 42-year-old woman who was almost three times the legal breath-alcohol limit, despite telling police she had had only two drinks.

clipper's remarks: Players lessons in respect

Clip Source: www.nzherald.co.nz

An interactive DVD which asks players if they would sleep with their mate's girlfriend is the Australian Football League's (AFL) latest effort to improve player attitudes to women.

The AFL confirmed it is producing the DVD which guides players on how to deal with various scenarios and boost their respect for the opposite sex.

While the answers might appear self explanatory, the AFL is all too aware of its poor public image after a series of alcohol-fuelled incidents, some involving women.

* You are called by a mate's girlfriend into her bedroom because she thinks you are her boyfriend. Do you:

a - Go and hop into bed and pretend to be him.

b - Walk away.

* You are with a girl who has had too much to drink. Do you:

a - Get her some water.

b - Call her a taxi.

c - Take her back to your place for sex.

* A mate and his girlfriend are having sex. Do you:

a - Watch.

b - Not watch.

The probe was an expansion of a review into police bars, which began about 18 months ago after police bosses became concerned over the number of high-profile incidents involving alcohol sold at police stations. It included a Gisborne policewoman allegedly pepper-sprayed during a party at her station in December 2002.
