Repeat high speed offender, Strathpine and Northgate
A 28-year-old Petrie man has received large fines after he was detected exceeding the legal speed limit twice in four days.
It is alleged police detected the man riding a motorcycle at 129km/h in a 70kmph zone on Gympie Road, Strathpine on Friday April 18 at 4.50pm.
The second incident occurred around 7.25am today where it is alleged the man was intercepted riding the same motorcycle at 136km/h in a 90kmph zone on Southern Cross Way, Northgate.
The Petrie man was issued with two traffic infringement notices in relation to the speeding offences.
Acting Assistant Commissioner Mike Keating of the Road Policing Command said the driver faced fines in the thousands of dollars.
“Under the new anti-hooning legislation for high-range speeding the man’s number plates were confiscated today for a seven day period, for the second offence.
Exceeding the speed limit by more than 40 kilometres per hour is not only extremely reckless it could have devastating consequences for the driver and everyone else on the road.”
