Motor cyclist clocked at twice the speed limit

Motorbike rider now travelling on foot

A motorbike rider is now travelling on foot after being clocked at almost twice the speed limit at Peats Ridge.

Brisbane Water Highway Patrol detected the man riding at 116km/h in a 60km/h speed zone along Peats Ridge Rd.

Highway Patrol Police recorded the 46-year-old motorcyclist at 56km/h over the speed limit at 11.15am on Sunday, March 10.

When the man from North Sydney was stopped by police he told them that he was distracted.

The man was issued with a penalty notice for exceeding the speed limit by more that 45km/h which came with a $2,794 fine and six demerit points.

His NSW driver’s licence was immediately suspended for six months and the registration plates from the motorcycle were confiscated for three months.

Highway Patrol Police say that the Peats Ridge area is a popular area on weekends, particularly for motorcycle riders, and police urge everyone to drive/ride responsibly so weekend activities can be enjoyed safely.

  1. 6 months what a joke should start from 12 months suspension and a jail term if detected driving in that period of time.

  2. bike should be crushed and told to walk for next 3 years, what would happen if someone walked across the road, both would be killed, should have to do licence again from scratch, L plates 2 years, P plates 5 years

  3. speeding wow such a bad bad crime, murderers and robbers need catching, get off the revenue train

  4. let him off.
    he didn’t hurt anyone

  5. 1st offence, why fine him?
    who is the victim of this “crime”?
