Nunawading Highway Patrol officers have caught a driver travelling almost double the speed limit in Mulgrave this morning.
Police clocked the 2008 Volkswagen Golf sedan traveling at an alleged speed of 140km/h in an 80 zone south on the Princes Highway about 4.20am.
Officers approached the vehicle and asked the driver if he always drove like that.
The man allegedly replied with a "yes", and that he was surprised police were out and about in the area.
The 29-year-old Vermont South man had his Golf impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1016 and is expected to be charged on summons with traffic offences.
Police would like to remind motorists that you can be caught anywhere, anytime.
