Police have seized the car of a p-plate driver travelling at more than 160km/h on the Tuggeranong Parkway.
On Tuesday 26 December, ACT Road Policing officers were conducting speed enforcement activities on the Tuggeranong Parkway. Â
Â
About 11.55am, they detected a black Ford Falcon sedan travelling at 167km/h in a signposted 90km/h zone. Â
Â
The vehicle was stopped by police and a 19-year-old provisional driver had his licence immediately suspended and his vehicle seized.
Â
He will face court in 2024, charged with dangerous driving and exceeding the speed limit by greater than 45km/h.
