Police issued the driver with an infringement notice for:
- Driving at dangerous speed - Exceed limit 45km/hr - $1040 fine
Senior Sergeant Tanya Woodcock said, "High range speeding like this is incredibly dangerous and there is no excuse for it, drivers should be aware that police can record vehicle speeds from both stationary and mobile units. It's not worth the risk, this could have very easily ended in tragedy. "
