A disqualified driver will face court next month after being detected travelling more than 60km/h above the sign-posted speed limit in the Royal National Park at the weekend, NSW Police say.
About 2pm on Saturday (10 November 2018), officers from Sutherland Traffic and Highway Patrol Command were conducting speed enforcement duties on Lady Wakehurst Drive, Otford, when they detected a VW Golf hatch allegedly travelling at 145km/h in an 80km/h sign-posted area.
Police spoke to the driver, a 24-year-old woman, who produced an international driver’s licence.
The woman’s breath test was negative; however, checks revealed the woman’s NSW Learner’s Licence was disqualified until 2021.
The Chinese National was issued a Field Court Attendance Notice for drive while disqualified and she is due to appear at Sutherland Local Court on Thursday 13 December 2018.
The woman was also issued an infringement notice for exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h which carries a penalty of $2435 and six demerit points.
