Last week on Tuesday night, a learner driver was pulled over by highway patrol police for allegedly driving at a speed of 153kph, which was 53kph over the 100kph limit. The driver was in a white Mitsubishi and was seen overtaking a semi-trailer on the M7. The police attempted to stop the car, but the driver refused to pull over and a chase ensued.
Eventually, the car came to a stop on Quakers Hill Parkway in Quakers Hill and the 24-year-old driver, who was unaccompanied, showed the police his learner's licence. However, it was noted that he had green P-Plates displayed on his car. When asked why he was running, the man denied it and explained that he was just trying to get home to his sick children.
He further explained that he was not running from the police, but simply trying to get his car home. Despite his explanation, the man was arrested and taken to the Riverstone Police Station. A breath test was conducted, which returned a negative result. However, he was issued an infringement notice and had his licence suspended for six months. The registration plates on his car were also seized.
In addition to these consequences, the man was also charged with various road offences, including not displaying his "L" plates and failing to notify a change of residential address. It is important to follow the rules and regulations while driving, especially for the safety of oneself and others on the road. Let us all remember to drive responsibly and adhere to the speed limits.
