The Transport Minister says the Government's more focused on drunk and drugged drivers than speed limits.  

The Government has reversed the first of 38 speed limit reductions across the country's State Highways.  

The rest are due to come into force before July, while another 49 sections of road are open for public consultation.  

Transport Minister Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking his goal is to address what he claims is the number one killer on New Zealand roads: drugs and alcohol.  

He says the country is being brought into line with other jurisdictions with roadside drug testing and increased breath testing.
