The vehicle was pulled over and police spoke with the driver, a 23-year-old man from the Southside, who said that there was no reason for him to be travelling at such excessive speed at the time.

He was fined $1218 for driving over 40km over the speed limit, lost eight demerit points and received a six months suspension for his trouble.

Superintendent David Johnson of Road Policing Command expressed his concerns regarding this careless and excessive speeding.

"We are very concerned and alarmed at the driver's speed, unnecessarily placing lives at risk on the roads," Superintendent Johnson said.

Remember the fatal five - speeding, drink and drug driving, seat belts, fatigue and distraction.
