A Napier judge has sparked a debate about driving laws after a student who drove nearly 70 kilometres over the speed limit escaped with just a fine.
Kingston Webb was caught driving at 148kmh in an 80kmh zone in Napier - he was fined but didn't lose his licence because the judge accepted his argument his driving wasn't dangerous.
Philip Ross was the defence lawyer in the district court case.
He speaks to Susie Ferguson.
