The family of a cyclist killed by a texting driver on a busy Wellington highway say it's a "real kick in the guts" to hear the driver is now allowed to drive again just three months after sentencing.
Khing Tiang Wong, 47, was granted a limited licence in the Wellington District Court this morning, meaning he can drive a car under certain restrictive conditions despite the fact he was disqualified from driving for a year and a half.
