Three men lose their licences for speeding in the same 80km/h zone around the same time

West Australian09-06-2025
The King's Birthday long weekend (for all states and territories except Queensland and Western Australia) got off to a bad start for three males who had their licences suspended within about an hour of each other following three separate incidents on the same section of road near Sydney, New South Wales on Friday night.
According to the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command of the NSW Police Force, a 19-year-old provisional licence holder was detected travelling at 134km/h in a 80km/h zone on Camden Valley Way at Narellan at 10:30pm on June 6.
After being stopped, police say he returned negative readings for alcohol and drugs and provided no excuse for his speed. He was issued a $2959 fine, six demerit points and a six-month licence suspension, effective immediately.

Just 30 minutes later at 11:00pm at the same location, a 29-year-old male was detected travelling at 147km/h in the same 80km/h zone. He was also stopped before returning negative readings for alcohol and drugs and providing no excuse for his speed.
Likewise, police issued him with a $2959 fine and six demerit points, and suspended him from driving for six months.
About an hour later just after midnight, a 20-year-old learner driver was nabbed at 144km/h in the same 80km/h zone while driving with his girlfriend.
After producing his learner's permit it was discovered there was no licenced driver in the car instructing him and no L-plates on his vehicle. His mobile phone was also connected to the vehicle via Bluetooth, which is also prohibited for learner and provisional licence holders in NSW.
He was issued with the same $2959 fine and six demerit points for the speeding offence, plus a $1045 fine for being an unaccompanied learner, a $320 fine for failing to have L-plates on his vehicle, and a $410 fine and five demerit points for driving while using his mobile phone.
His licence was suspended immediately for six months and his registration plates were seized, leaving his vehicle unregistrable for three months.
'This sort of behaviour endangers the lives of everyone on NSW roads at any time, let alone a long weekend when the roads are filled with people heading off on holidays,' said NSW Police Force on its Facebook page.
'NSW Highway Patrol will in out in force in larger numbers than normal this long weekend working to stop this sort of ridiculous and dangerous behaviour. Please drive safely and don't endanger anyone's lives on NSW roads like these three lunatics did.'

Man caught driving without bonnet and driver's seat now without car

Victoria Police says a man has been left without his BMW 3 Series after he was caught driving it without a bonnet… and sitting on a patio chair. Officers pulled over the 64-year-old Narre Warren South man on the afternoon of Monday, July 21 in Cranbourne North when they noticed it was missing its bonnet. Upon looking inside, officers noticed 'strange seat cushions', and soon realised the car had had its front seats removed. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car.

He allegedly claimed he was heading to get some parts. Hopefully a bonnet and front seats were on his shopping list… Driving without those crucial items netted him a defect notice, and Victoria Police says he's expected to be charged on summons with traffic offences, though it hasn't published a full list.
