Driver clocked at 208kmh, say police

July 25, 2005 - 10:37AM

A man has been charged with reckless driving after allegedly driving almost 100kmh above the speed limit on a freeway south-west of Sydney.

Police said the 27-year-old from Bellevue Hill, in Sydney's east, was clocked driving his Nissan GTS coupe at 208kmh in a 110kph zone on the Hume Highway near Mittagong about 11.40pm (AEST) last night.

He was charged with driving a vehicle reckless or furiously and will appear in Moss Vale Local Court on August 15.

His licence had been immediately suspended.

all I can say is he must have had some serious intent if he really was in a non turbo skyline. it would take some pretty long road to wind a GTS up to a 'real' (ie not speedo indicated) 208kmh. the speedo would be reading about 230-250 at that speed (if not still 180kph speedo).

he will now be enjoying ye olde public transport, and the lifto-bludgo for many moons to come.

If its on the Hume near Mittagong, I can pretty much guess where he did it, too.

I'd assume he did it on the northbound side, since it runs downhill. At which point, if he started at 110km/hr or so before hitting this section......200km/hr would be easy to achieve.

poor block, i feel sorry for him, should be allowed to have a little fun every now and then...

LOL just kidding good luck to him, coz i got caught doing 30 ver the limit and im out for six months, wouldnt want to know how long he's out..

hahaha! yeah i read this on the way home from work 2day...on the train.... and it kinda pissed me off that he 'happened' to be driving a Nissan GTS... we're back in the spotlight for the wrong reasons because of an idiot... why couldn't he have been driving a BMW....:uhh:

actually the last guy caught speeding in a bentley is in jail. or perhaps it was a bugatti? either way I believe that counts as 'uber-exotic'...
