Multimedia journalist for the Northern Advocatekarina.cooper@nzme.co.nz The family of a Northland mother and toddler killed in a crash caused by a teenage recidivist drink-driver say the region s drop in the number of drink-drivers with three or more convictions is positive - but even one would still be too many.
