A driver has been caught allegedly nearly doubling the speed limit on Princes Highway, Mulgrave.
Nunawading Highway Patrol officers clocked a 2008 Volkswagen Golf sedan allegedly speeding at 140km/h in an 80 zone southbound about 4.20am on Saturday 22 November.
Officers approached the vehicle and asked the driver if he always drove like that, police say.
The man allegedly replied with a “yes”, and that he was surprised police were out and about in the area.
The 29-year-old Vermont South man had his Golf impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1016.
He is expected to be charged on summons with traffic offences, police say.
