A Cambridge businessman who opened the door of his ute without checking to see if any cyclists were riding past clipped a rider, sending the man crashing into the path of another ute that ran him over.

The cyclist - a Harrowfield man in his mid 40s - suffered horrific injuries, including a bad injury to his brain in spite of the fact he was wearing a helmet. His ribs were smashed and he had to have a metal plate inserted in his chest to hold them together.

Police officers need more training on trespass laws to avoid accidentally breaking them while making arrests, a solicitor says. 

The call comes after a High Court judge quashed an Auckland man's drink-drive convictions because a police officer unlawfully arrested him in his driveway after he refused a breath test.

Solicitor Umar Kuddus said he had seen the situation “time and time again” and had personally dealt with two cases in the past 12 months.
