P-plater caught going 167km/h on Tuggeranong Parkway

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. ย 
ย 
About 11.55am, they detected a black Ford Falcon sedan travelling at 167km/h in a signposted 90km/h zone. ย 
ย 
The vehicle was stopped by police and a 19-year-old provisional driver had his licence immediately suspended and his vehicle seized.
ย 
He will face court in 2024, charged with dangerous driving and exceeding the speed limit by greater than 45km/h.
ย 
Police urge all drivers to stick to the speed limit and drive to the conditions. Exceeding the speed limit greatly increases your chances of being involved in a collision and when excessive speed is detected, drivers risk immediate licence suspension and vehicle seizure. ย
