A Queensland man has been slapped with a fine and licence disqualification for speeding at almost 50km/h above the speed limit on the north-west.
The 44-year-old was caught doing 148km/h in a 100km/h zone on the Stanley Highway just before 4pm on Sunday.
Sergeant Lee-Anne Walters said the section of road the motorcyclist was speeding on was “narrow” and “heavily used” by tourists and local motorists.
“The consequences of his dangerous riding could have been tragic,” she said.
“I urge every motorcyclist to consider their safety and the safety of others every time they ride on our roads.”
“Obey the road rules to help us keep everyone safe.”
The rider was issued an infringement notice for four months of licence disqualification, six demerit points and a fine of $1,161.50.
