Werribee Wanderer

State Highway Patrol West members intercepted a Holden Commodore allegedly travelling 100km/h over the limit in Werribee this morning.

Officers were on Princes Freeway about 2am when they detected the Commodore travelling at 110km/h and headed towards the city in a 100 km/h zone.

The car drove past police and sped up to 200km/h.

Officers managed to intercept the vehicle near the Werribee multi-bypass and spoke to a 36-year-old Norlane man.

He allegedly told police that he was headed towards Melbourne to go to Colac via Ballarat Road to avoid the Geelong checkpoint.

The man, who did have a valid reason for travel, is expected to be charged on summons with several traffic offences including speed dangerous, excessive speed and drive whilst disqualified.

The Commodore, which belongs to the man's aunt, was impounded with costs of $1023.70.
