A provisional driver has been charged after he was allegedly speeding and drink-driving in Sydney's south-west overnight.
Just before 7.30pm (Sunday 4 December 2022), officers from Traffic and Highway Patrol Command were patrolling on the Hume Highway at Casula when they observed a Holden Commodore sedan allegedly travelling 140km/hr in a 70/km hr zone.
