A Tassie driver has had his licence disqualified after being caught driving more at than 50 km/h over the speed limit yesterday afternoon.
The traffic operation in Tullah snapped the driver traveling at 103 km/h – landing him with a fine of more than $1,000, six demerit points and a four-month licence suspension.
Ten other motorists were also caught speeding, with an additional eight vehicles found to have defects.
Sergeant Danny Jackson from Strahan Police said it was disappointing to see this type of driving behaviour continuing in the face of ongoing public messaging.
“The motoring public can be assured police will continue to maintain a high presence on west coast roads during the holiday season, particularly targeting those fatal five offences,” he said.
