A Melbourne p-plater has had his licence suspended after he was allegedly nabbed driving at a “crazy” speed on Wednesday night.
The Geelong Police Eyewatch page shared yesterday the Geelong Highway Patrol unit had detected a Ford coupe driving 135 kilometres per hour in an 80km/h zone on Barwon Heads Road in Connewarre about 11pm Wednesday.
Police intercepted the driver, a 20-year-old Melbourne man on his green p-plates, and impounded the vehicle, which also had two passengers.
