A driver caught doing 200km/h has the dubious honour of being ticketed for the country's highest recorded speed in the past year.

Comedian Mike King has been ordered to complete 200 hours of community work after pleading guilty to a driving charge.

Suspected drink-drivers could be prosecuted on the evidence of a breath test alone, even if they had requested a blood test, under a bill expected to come before Parliament.

Police are threatening to post phoney messages about fictitious breath testing check points on Facebook pages set up to help drunk drivers avoid being caught.

The brother of All Black Zac Guildford has avoided a jail sentence for repeated drink-driving.
