An 18-year-old man has been stopped by police after he was allegedly detected driving at 177km/h in a 100km/h zone.
$3100 and 6months suspension
That doesn’t look like “more than 85km/h over the limit” to me.
Editing to add: reading the article helped… Being from the US I had no idea what P plates were or that they come with their own lower limit (90km/h)
A mate once came up to Sydney from Melbourne and he thought it was hilarious how Sydney people tuck their L and P plates in places like behind windscreens and half behind license plates. He said in Melb they would be fined every day of the week.
it used to be the case in NSW too, i got a pretty stern warning once because my P plate was wedged behind the number plate, although easily visible
Is this this kind of thing actually news in Austrailia?
Yes. We don’t have mass shootings, religious nutjobs and insane politicians filling up our news cycles.
Well, we do have a few crazy politicians, but they’re not the norm.Sometimes.
