Despite the nation having come to a standstill due to the latest Level 4 lockdown, dozens of Wellington drivers appear to have been in a rush, having been caught speeding by police yesterday.
Police said 87 speeding infringements were issued in the Wellington district yesterday, some driving in excess of 130kmh, while five others were processed for drink driving.
The number was over double of that seen on each day of the weekend and police said it was "concerning behaviour".
Police have so far issued 507 infringements nationwide for lockdown breaches since Thursday.
