MONASH: 80-kmh over limit


Nunawading Highway Patrol officers were left shaking their heads after they picked up a P-plater more than 80-kmh over the limit in Glen Waverley last Wednesday morning (July 30).
The driver was first spotted travelling outbound on the Monash Fwy, near Blackburn Rd, travelling more than 130-kmh in the 100-kmh zone about 12.15am.
Police, who were performing laser speed detection duties as part of Operation Trinity, took off after the motorist to pull him over.
The 20-year-old, who wasn’t aware police were approaching, appeared to increase his speed travelling in excess of 180-kmh.
Officers activated their lights and pulled over the Dandenong man on the EastLink exit shortly after.
The new model Ford Ranger Wildtrak was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1000.
The man is expected to be charged on summons with exceeding the speed limit and other traffic related offences.
