Wednesday, 09 Dec 2009 11:37am


A suspended driver has been arrested and charged after allegedly being detected travelling 100km over the speed limit in southern Sydney yesterday.

About 7.20am, (8 December), police noticed a Honda CBR 250 motorcycle allegedly travelling at speed on Spur Crescent, Loftus. An unmarked Sutherland Highway Patrol car followed the cycle checking his speed in excess of 150kmh in a sign posted 50kmh residential street.

The 18-year-old Loftus man was stopped near Loftus Railway Station and arrested. Checks revealed he was a suspended learner driver until January 2011.

He was taken to Sutherland Police Station where he was charged with drive at speed dangerous and drive with suspended licence.

The man is expected to appear in Sutherland Local Court in 7 January 2010.

What
a
fucking
knob.

I mean seriously, what the hell?

[laidback]

What about the guy done doing 200 on a freeway in Sydney. Dopey to do it there...

[mike-s]

200 on an open freeway is pretty bad and lord knows we've probably done things approaching that silly.
But in a 50 zone? Where there's every chance of pedestrians, etc?

[robracer]

Worst problem is he will probably be back on the road again today..... there was no mention of the new hoon laws & impounding his ride

[oldmanmike]

Whilst I don't condone the guy being a knob ( excessive speed in a 50 zone )

I didn't think a HONDA ( 250 shitter at that ) could go that fast....

[mike-s]

Hoon laws? if they made laws regarding 'just a total fucking fool" then i think he'd have it cubed. Seriously, suspected until 2011, and a learner.
Just what the hell had he done in the past for such a decent suspension.

Taxi driver caught doing 114km/h on Monash Freeway

A CABBIE has had his car impounded under hoon laws after being nabbed at almost twice the speed limit.

About 9.30 last night the taxi was caught doing 114km/h in a 60km/h roadworks zone on the Monash Freeway.

Despite impounding two cars on the same section of road, police were amazed to find drivers still speeding along the stretch.

The Broadmeadows man, 38, was issued with a $584 fine, a 12-month loss of licence, and hen had his vehicle impounded for 48 hours.

Hoons' new Audi, bike impounded when drivers busted speeding on Monash Freeway

TWO hoon drivers have had their cars confiscated after being caught speeding on the Monash Freeway overnight.

Stonnington police detected a 32-year-old Toorak man driving his brand new Audi A3 at 118 km/h in a signed 60 km/h section of the Monash at 9.15pm last night.

After intercepting the driver, issuing a $584 fine, suspending his licence for 12 months and impounding the newly acquired car, the member went back to patrolling the Monash.

An hour later a 19-year-old Dandenong man was caught doing 108 km/h in a 60 km/h section of the freeway.

He had his Suzuki 250 motorcycle impounded and will face the same penalties as the Toorak man.

Sen-Constable James Robbins said police were stunned at the blatant disregard of the drivers for the safety of road workers as well as the safety of other drivers.

Maybe doing night work...was down there a couple of weeks ago and there were some work going on a 3am. Got passed a lot in 40k sections by trucks, cars and bikes. Hardly anyone takes any notice of work zone limits so maybe they are concentrating on this.

To be honest... as a general rule in Sydney, the freeways aren't watched very often. During peak hour the police very rarely show themselves!

[ducati_paul]

During peak hour the police very rarely show themselves!

Why would they when the traffic can only do 30km/h

A teenage learner driver has had his car impounded after it was clocked travelling almost 50km/h over the speed limit in Melbourne's east.

The Nissan Sylvia was detected driving 107km/h in a 60km/h zone on the inbound section of Citylink between Toorak and Glenferrie Roads about 11pm last night.

The 17-year-old received penalty notices for unlicensed driving, false number plates and driving an unregistered car.

The driver had his car impounded for 48 hours and is expected to be charged for refusing to accompany police for a breath test, speeding, careless driving and failing to have an accompanying driver as a learner.
