Highway Patrol officers in Victoria’s high country were left shaking their heads after a flurry of speeding incidents yesterday, Victoria Police say.
Police intercepted a car on Mt. Buller Road in Merrijig after it was allegedly detected travelling at 164km/h in a 100 zone shortly after 10am.
The driver, a 25-year-old man from the Docklands, had two passengers with him.
The BMW X6 was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1280.
While Mansfield Highway Patrol officers were finishing up the impound, a Holden Commodore was allegedly observed travelling west on Mt. Buller Road at a speed of 194km/h.
The car was pulled over by police a short time later.
The driver was a 29-year-old from Boronia on his probationary license and he was travelling in a hire car.
Later this afternoon, Maroondah Highway Patrol officers detected a car travelling 123km/h on Hewish Road in Croydon – a 50 zone.
All drivers are expected to be charged on summons with a range of traffic-related offences at a later date.
