Nunawading Highway Patrol officers nabbed a probationary driver from Berwick doing almost double the speed limit in Glen Waverley.

Officers intercepted the high-powered vehicle in the outbound lanes of the Monash Freeway at about 3am on Saturday 20 September.

It is alleged the 18-year-old P plater was travelling at 196km/h in a 100km/h zone.

It is expected the Berwick man will be charged on summons with exceeding the speed limit, speed dangerous, probationary driver driving a prohibited vehicle, and other traffic offences.

His Volkswagen Golf R was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1050.
