Highway patrol nabs speeding drivers

Victoria Police’s Highway Patrol issued multiple fines and suspensions following a series of high-speed offences in the southeast suburbs on Friday 1 August.

On Wellington Road, Lysterfield, a 19-year-old probationary driver was clocked at 112 km/h in an 80 km/h zone. He tested positive for alcohol, recording a blood alcohol reading of 0.058. The driver was fined $1,322 and will lose his licence for six months.

A 44-year-old man from Menzies Creek, was also caught along Wellington Road. He was driving at 105 km/h—just two days after his licence had been cancelled by a court. His vehicle was impounded for 30 days, and he will face court again.

Out along Lysterfield Road, Lysterfield, a 29-year-old man was caught driving at 100 km/h in a 70 km/h zone. He received a $560 fine and a three-month licence suspension.

Police are reminding all drivers that speeding isn’t worth it.
