A North Ward man has been clocked allegedly driving 44 kays over the speed limit in Proserpine.
Police say they caught the 23-year-old on Saturday when they were doing 144km/h in a 100km/h zone on the Bruce Highway.
An on the spot fine of $1,653 was issued resulting in the loss of 8 demerit points and a drivers licence suspension for a period of 6 months.
Authorities are reminding residents of the dangers and consequences of speeding on our local roads.
Senior Constable Steve Smith say all motorists should be aware that police are actively performing speed enforcement patrols on our roads every day.
“Being caught speeding by police is preferable to causing a crash and injuring another person, or worse, both options are preventable,” he says.
“Police are urging all motorists to be responsible behind the wheel.”
