Double speed limit X double demerits = no licence

Double trouble…. police clock a motorcyclist at double the speed limit during a double-demerits period.

A 52-year-old motorcyclist lost his licence for riding a motorcycle at Denman Prospect at double the posted limit during the double-demerits period on Tuesday.

Police clocked the speed of the Chifley man’s red Ducati at 129kmh at about 12.15pm on Uriarra Road. The posted speed limit is 60kmh.

The rider has been issued with a traffic infringement notice for exceeding the speed limit greater than 45km/h. The offence carries a penalty of $1841 and 12 demerit points, which will result in the loss of his licence.
