Officers from Brimbank Highway Patrol could not believe their eyes after a man was caught travelling almost double the speed limit in Niddrie this afternoon.
Members were patrolling when they observed a Mercedes sedan speeding on the Calder Freeway about 3.30pm.
The car was detected on laser travelling at a mind-boggling alleged speed of 196km/hr in the 100km/hr zone.
The car was intercepted on the Tullamarine Freeway in Essendon, and three occupants were spoken to.
The probationary driver, a 19-year-old from Airport West, is expected to be charged on summons with multiple offences.
His car was also impounded with towing costs of $884.
The driver and his two teenage passengers were also fined for breaching the Chief Health Officer directions.
