Woman avoids insurance excess after using CCTV footage to identify hit-and-run driver.

A Hawke's Bay woman, Tracy Murfitt, avoided a $500 insurance excess after her parked car was hit by an unknown driver. CCTV cameras captured the incident, and Murfitt obtained the offending car's number plate from a note left at the scene, which she shared with her insurance company. The Hastings District Council, which received 61 CCTV footage requests last year, primarily for thefts, assaults, and driving incidents, helped in the incident's resolution.
