Malmsbury speedster

Police from the State Highway Patrol Solo Unit intercepted a Porsche travelling 30km/h over the limit in Malmsbury this afternoon.

It's alleged the sports car was travelling at 140km/h in a 110 zone on the Calder Freeway about 1pm

Matters only got worse for the 58-year-old driver when a preliminary oral fluid test gave a positive result.

The Cranbourne man is expected to be charged on summons with drug and speed related driving offences.

This intercept forms part of Operation Regal, a four-day focus on keeping our community safe on the roads during the Queen's birthday 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.

Operation Regal runs from 12.01am Friday 5 June to 11.59pm Monday 8 June 2020.
