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.'
