A 26-year-old woman will have to explain to her dad why she was doing twice the legal speed limit while driving his car in Taylors Hill last night.
Public Order Response Team members were doing laser speed detection as part of Operation Nexus when they clocked a car travelling at 129km/h in a 60 zone on Gourlay Road about 6pm.
The Hillside woman not only had to tell her dad that his car had been impounded for 30 days, she also needed him to come and pick her up.
She is expected to be charged on summons with speeding offences.
This impound forms part of Operation Nexus, a five-day focus on keeping our community safe on the roads during the Easter long weekend.
The state-wide operation aims to reduce road trauma, including the number of lives lost and injuries on our roads.
During this time motorists can expect to be breath tested and drug tested, have their vehicles scanned and be checked for speeding.
The operation involves all available personnel including local road policing units, general duties, other operational policing units and centralised resources from Road Policing Command.
The operation started at 12.01am on Thursday 9 April and concludes at 11.59pm on Monday 13 April
