VIC: Hoon nabbed speeding at 170km/h to Christmas lunch
MELBOURNE, Dec 25 AAP - A Victorian hoon driver has been added to Santa's black list
after being nabbed speeding 70km/h over the speed limit.
Police intercepted the 26-year-old driver about 9am (AEDT) on the Western Ring Road
at Tullamarine, in the Melbourne's north.
The driver, who had a female passenger in the car at the time, was speeding at 170km/h
in a 100km/h zone, police said in a statement.
The Audi A4 sedan was seized by police and impounded under the state's hoon laws.
Due to the Christmas break, the hoon won't be able to pick up his car until Tuesday.
Senior Constable Jeremy Balas from the Fawkner Traffic Management Unit said he couldn't
believe the driver's behaviour.
"Being eager to get someone home for Christmas lunch is not a good enough excuse for
putting other road users at risk," he said.
"It's better to turn up to a loved one's house late than to have them mourn your loss
on such an important day," he said.
