The police have missed out on a $6 million funding incentive for failing to issue enough speeding tickets. 

The Transport Minister promised earlier in the year that police could expect to receive $72 million as part of their funding from NZTA - if certain road policing targets were met.

 AA Road Safety spokesperson Dylan Thomsen says police managed to exceed alcohol testing targets this quarter - which the association is pleased to see.

"Really, this is just part of a huge push from the Government here to increase the amount of enforcement around alcohol and drugs and speeding."
