P Platers caught speeding

Two P Platers have had their licences suspended after being caught driving 45km/h over their provisional speed limits.

Tuggerah Lakes Highway Patrol detected the two P1 licence holders within days of each other at the exact same stretch of the M1 Motorway near Kang Angy.

The first incident occurred on Thursday, November 19, when officers observed a red Toyota travelling at 142km/h in the sign posted 110km/h zone.

Officers stopped the vehicle, where the driver produced a P1 Provisional Licence, limiting the driver to 90km/h.

The driver was issued a penalty notice for exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h and their licence suspended on the spot for a period of six months.

Two days later officers detected another P1 Provisional licence holder travelling at 143km/h at the same location.

The driver was also issued a penalty notice for exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h and their licence suspended on the spot for a period of six months.
