Man faces $600 out-of-pocket cost after car was damaged by stones from recent roadworks in Northland.

Despite insurance covering the repairs, the driver must pay a $600 excess. The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) claims the road was swept before speed limits were restored, but the driver argues the agency should be held accountable and urges others to file compensation claims.
