Police impounded a P-plater’s car in Dandenong North for allegedly travelling almost 70km/h over the speed limit.
Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol members allegedly spotted the car racing on Greens Road in Dandenong South about 1.30am on Saturday 16 July.
A few minutes later they allegedly clocked the car travelling at 169km/h in a 100km/h zone on EastLink in Dandenong.
They found the car parked on Police Road just after 1.30am and the 22-year-old Wantirna South man who’d been behind the wheel walking away.
The officers impounded the car at a $961 cost to the driver.
They interviewed and released the driver, pending summons for reckless conduct, travelling at excessive speed and other traffic-related offences.
