Police have released footage of one of the worst speeding motorists detected so far during the Festive Break phase of the Christmas Road Safety Campaign, Queensland Police say.
The 20-year-old P-Plate driver was allegedly detected travelling at 215 km/hour in a 110 km/hour zone on the Flinders Highway at Torrens Creek just after 10am on Thursday, December 28.
The Holden Commodore driver was issued with a high range speeding fine which includes a $1,177 fine, the loss of eight demerit points and an automatic six-month licence suspension.
Police have detected more than 21,000 speeding motorists in the first seven days of the Festive Break and will continue a strong focus on targeting high-risk driver behaviour during the busy holiday period.
Speed is a contributing factor in approximately one in five fatal traffic crashes on Queensland roads.
