A 40-year-old man from Mornington has had his vehicle clamped and he will receive a fine and licence disqualification after he was detected speeding at high-range at Mornington last night.
"Road Policing Services detected a vehicle exceeding the speed limit by 56km/h on the Tasman Highway at Mornington at 5.30pm last night," said Acting Sergeant Mehdi Mohammadi.
"Police detected the blue hatchback vehicle travelling at 166km/h in the 110km/h zone as the vehicle was approaching Mornington on the Tasman Highway."
The driver will receive a fine of $1,146.00 and be disqualified for up to 4 months, and the vehicle has been clamped for 28 days.
"It's disappointing that some road users continue to place themselves and others at risk by travelling at such high speeds," said Acting Sergeant Mohammadi.
"This is another example of poor driver behaviour and could have easily resulted in serious injury or death for the driver or other road users."
If anyone who sees dangerous driving, they are encouraged to report to on 131 444 or Triple Zero (000) in an emergency.
