Melbourne Highway Patrol officers were kept busy over the weekend with speeding drivers and three women on an e-scooter.
Three drivers were intercepted by officers on the Eastern Freeway, Alphington on Saturday night, 11 March.
Around 9pm a 23-year-old man, holding a probationary licence, from Ringwood and was caught doing 143km/h in a 100k/h zone on the Eastern Freeway, Alphington.
He had his licence immediately suspended for 6 months and issued with an infringement notice.
A 38-year-old man from Balwyn North was detected at 144km/h on the same stretch of road.
His licence was also immediately suspended for 6 months and he was issued with an infringement notice.
A 26-year-old man from Boronia was also detected at 120km/h. She underwent a preliminary oral fluid test which indicated a positive result.
Police will await tests results before taking further action.
In Fitzroy, police were called to Webb Street about 12.20am after a woman fell from an e-scooter carrying two other women.
The main rider, a 21-year-old Williamstown woman, underwent a breath test and provided an alleged reading of 0.036, which was in excess of her zero limit being a learner driver.
Her learners permit was immediately cancelled and she is disqualified from driving for 3 months.
These intercepts were part of Operation Arid, the state-wide road policing operation aiming to reduce road trauma and lives lost on our roads over the Labour Day long weekend.
