A P-plate motorcyclist who was ‘late for a university lecture’ will be without his licence for the next six months after being caught driving at 161 kilometres per hour on the Majura Parkway.
About 11.40am yesterday (Friday 14 March), ACT Policing Road Policing officers detected the 20-year-old Casey man riding his Kawasaki motorcycle 61 kilometres per hour above the posted 100 kilometre per hour speed limit on the parkway in Majura.
The man – the holder of a provisional licence - told officers he was running late for his university lecture.
The choice to travel at excessive speed has cost the man $1841 as well as six demerit points which means he won’t be able to legally drive in the ACT for the next 180 days.
ACT Policing reminds the community there is no excuse for speeding.
