Learner driver gets quick lesson on speeding

A teenage L-Plater was today issued a hefty fine in Woori Yallock after being caught speeding hours after obtaining a learner's permit.

Officers from State Highway Patrol South-East intercepted a Hyundai Getz on Healesville -Koo Wee Rup Road after it reached alleged speeds of 83km/h in a 60km zone about 1.30pm on Tuesday, 26 October.

Officers spoke with the driver, a 17-year-old boy, who told them he was taking his grandmother out after getting his learner's permit hours before.

The boy was issued with a $363 infringement notice and lost three demerit points for exceeding the speed limit.
