Driver booked at 164km/h

A MAN was caught speeding at 164km/h in a 100 km/h zone on Friday night on the Monaro Highway in Symonston.

About 7.20pm, police were conducting laser targeting when they caught the Nissan Skyline sedan travelling at high speed. The 37-year-old Chisholm man was fined $1811 and lost six demerit points.

Officer-in-charge of Traffic, Sgt Rod Anderson has urged the community to think about the consequence of risky driving behaviour.

“Risky driving behaviour such as speeding—low or high range—can have serious consequences for individuals such as loss of life, permanent injury or disability, loss of income, loss of license and monetary penalties,” Sgt Anderson said.

“I urge people to consider these factors before speeding, for themselves and others who may also be affected.”
