A DRIVER allegedly caught driving at nearly twice the speed limit on the Dingley Bypass has had his car impounded for a month.
Police allege that they caught the dark blue BMW speeding on 30 January. They say it was clocked at 155kmph in the 80 zone.
Police pulled over the car in Clarinda and impounded it for 30 days at a cost of more than $932. The driver will face the Magistrates Court at a later date.
In a statement on the Facebook eyewatch page, police said “there are no excuses to justify driving behaviour such as this. Road trauma has a significant impact on our community and we will do our utmost to keep our roads safe and reduce situations that may contribute to unsafe incidents on our roads.”
