A man has had his car confiscated, been fined more than $2300 and had his license suspended after he was allegedly detected travelling at 200km\/h near Gundagai this afternoon, NSW Police say.<\/p>\n
Just after 5pm today, officers attached to Traffic and Highway Patrol Command were conducting speed enforcement duties on the Hume Highway at Mundarlo, near south Gundagai, when they observed a white BMW travelling at an alleged 200km\/h in a 110km\/h marked zone.<\/p>\n
The vehicle was stopped near the Snowy Mountains Highway intersection and police spoke to the male driver, who was the only occupant.<\/p>\n
The 42-year-old man was issued an infringement notice for exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km\/h, which carries a $2350 fine.<\/p>\n
The man\u2019s BMW was towed from the scene and will remain confiscated by police for three months. His driver\u2019s licence was suspended for six months.<\/p>\n
Traffic & Highway Patrol Commander, Assistant Commissioner John Hartley, said excessive speeding and other dangerous behaviour on our roads would not be tolerated.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working hard to educate people on road safety through campaigns like \u2018Toward Zero\u2019, which is about lowering the road toll, but we also need to continue to target bad driver behaviour,\u201d Assistant Commissioner Hartley said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur ongoing road enforcement activities across the state aim to ensure those people who are putting put their own lives and the lives of others at risk on our roads by doing the wrong thing are targeted and detected.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
