A 19-year-old Gilmore man has had his vehicle seized and licence suspended after been caught driving at 198km/h in Fyshwick overnight.
About 12:20am, road policing officers observed a silver Honda Legend sedan travelling southbound on the Monaro Highway towards Fyshwick at excessive speed.
Police radar detected the sedan to be travelling at 198km/h in a 90km/h zone.
Screening tests revealed the 19-year-old driver, who held an ACT provisional licence, was not impaired by drugs or alcohol. When asked about his extreme speed, the man told officers he was just “being silly”.
His younger brother was also in the vehicle at the time of the incident.
The Honda Legend sedan was seized and the man was issued with an immediate suspension notice, suspending his ACT driver’s licence for 180 days. Further action to his dangerous driving will be taken.
