Quotes attributable to Acting Senior Sergeant Sean Foley, North West Metro Achilles Taskforce:
"For those thinking they can speed and get away with it, know that it won't be long until police are knocking on your door.
"This kind of high risk behaviour is nothing to brag about. It could seriously injure or kill you, your friends or an innocent road user."
