LARASON v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2021] NZHC 653
- Citation
- [2021] NZHC 653
- Court
- High Court
The appeal is dismissed because the elements of the strict liability speed offence were established (100 km/h in an 80 km/h area), the appellant failed to prove total absence of fault, the Land Transport Rule s9.2(2) legitimately excused repeater signs on the route (so the absence of repeaters did not negate liability), and ignorance of the speed limit did not constitute a defence; no miscarriage of justice occurred.
