Young drivers will have to think twice before taking a sip of alcohol from Sunday.
Law changes will make it illegal for drivers under 20 to have any trace of alcohol in their system.
Transport Minister Steven Joyce said the change was to protect young drivers. The minimum age for drivers was lifted from 15 to 16 on Monday.
