P-plater Pays Price In Parkville

A p-plater had his motorcycle impounded after he was allegedly caught speeding in Parkville last night.

Melbourne Highway Patrol officers intercepted the BMW S1000 on Citylink about 8pm on 1 July.

The probationary rider was travelling at an alleged speed of 142km/h in an 80km/h zone, without his p-plates or the appropriate motorcycle gear.

It is also understood the high-powered bike did not comply with the man's licence conditions.

The 22-year-old Doncaster man is expected to be charged on summons with excess speed, driving at a dangerous speed, fail to display P plates and breach licence condition.

The motorcycle was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $896.10.
