The Cook Islands police say speeding and drink-driving remain priority concerns with bad driving habits continuing to use up police resources.

Last week there were two head-on collisions on Rarotonga while in separate incidents four people for drink-driving offences last week.

Police commissioner Maara Tetava said speed and alcohol were still the biggest causes of road accidents, injury and death in the Cook Islands.

He says the message is still not getting through to some motorists.
