Tasmania Police say excessive speed “puts everyone” on the road at risk.
As a result, the teenager was given a $1,161.50 fine and licence disqualification of four months.
“Remember, speed limits are there to save lives. Slow down and drive responsibly,” police said.
“Don’t let a moment of recklessness lead to lifelong regret.”
