ACT: 17 Year Old Caught Doing 170km/h

[Jay95R33]

Anyone know anymore about this?

Heard on the radio that yesterday a 17 year old (on his P's) got caught doing 170km/h on the Tuggeranong parkway.

Lost his licence and got slapped with a $1500 fine !!

They only said that the 17 year old was driving a high horse power car, no mention of it being an import etc which is good !!

An 18-year-old provisional (P-plate) licensed-driver found his lunchtime speeding hijinks in a new V8 sedan expensive in more ways than one today.

Plainclothes detectives on patrol in an unmarked police car on the Tuggeranong Parkway clocked the P-plated driver at speeds of up to 170km/h before intercepting him and pulling him over shortly before 1pm.

Investigating officers said the teen driver, off from college at lunchtime, was issued with a traffic infringement notice which cost him $1515.

"He has also lost his license," said Senior Constable Dennis Apps.

Have you seen this one? Is it real?

Tom

HAH!

Considering the date of expiry on the rego is tomorrow (which also happens to be April 1st...) I'd say no, it isnt real...

that kind of speed(the first thing) happens all the time in sydney.

i have 2 friends that have been done 172KM in 90 zone

and 155km in 80 zone

and they were on red p`s without p plates on the car and with no manual licence(auto only)

they got a $1700 fine but only lost the p`s for 5 months.....

yeah that one is real, the bloke that "got" the ticket is mates with a cop who cancelled it straight away after writing it

[r33skylinegtst]

Ha, so the guy was from Tuggers college? That's pretty funny. I know a guy who tried to speed in his mini in the same area. Got up to 130km/h or so, but he didnt get caught. Quite an achievment for a 1 litre engine

I dont think a ford could go that fast

jk

All i can say is idiots! That is what race tracks are for...

May seem cool to do now but i am sure opinions will change if something was to happen, IE wheel goes flat, wildlife on the road etc...

F**KEN IDIOTS

imagine if some kid rode out in front of him on his bike.....or even a dog at that speed is going to f@ck his car up + possibly cause him to lose control...
