A 29-year-old disqualified driver has been caught doing 140km in a 60km zone in Kincumber.
At around 10:40pm on Monday, June 24, Brisbane Water Highway Patrol were patrolling Avoca Dve, Green Point, when they observed a blue Holden Astra travelling east on Avoca Dve in excess of the sign posted 60kmph speed limit.
Police turned and realised that the vehicle had increased its speed significantly.
Police caught up to the vehicle observing it overtake another vehicle on the incorrect side of the road over unbroken dividing lines.
