A look inside Goulburn Valley’s craziest car drivers

From high-speed highway police chases to driving without a licence while intoxicated, these are the Goulburn Valley’s most reckless, dangerous drivers.

Goulburn Valley has more than its fair share of hoons and morons taken of the road.

They’ve been caught speeding down quiet residential streets, driving while intoxicated and booting it down highways at absurd speeds.

They’ve also been caught driving unlicensed — a recurring theme among the Goulburn Valley's reckless drivers.

Here are the Goulburn Valley’s most dangerous drivers.

She pleaded guilty to the charges to multiple driving and drug charges, and was sentenced to 83 days imprisonment and lost her licence for two years.
