Police have nabbed two speeding drivers in two days in the Moriac area, with the latest driving at almost double the speed limit.
Geelong Highway Patrol officers patrolling Barrabool Road detected a car travelling at 188km/h in a 100km/h zone Thursday night.
Police impounded the car, and the driver will have to pay $1110 to have it released after 30 days.
They charged a 28-year-old Winchelsea man with exceeding the speed limit and driving at a dangerous speed. He will appear at Geelong Magistrates’ Court at a later date.
Police also caught a 20-year-old Inverleigh man driving 44km/h over the limit while on a VicRoads-imposed good behaviour bond at Moriac on Wednesday.
Geelong Highway Patrol officers detected him travelling 144km/h in a 100km/h zone on Princes Highway at 3.15pm.
Police suspended the man’s licence, issued him with a $661 on-the-spot fine and added six demerit points to his licence.
The man was driving under a demerit point good behaviour bond, where even one demerit point would mean the suspension of his licence for six months from VicRoads.
The VicRoads bond plus the six-month suspension he earned on the Princes Freeway will mean he will effectively lose his licence for 12 months.
Police reminded motorists to plan journeys and leave early heading into a busy summer for the Bellarine and Surf Coast.
