A P-plater who has only held his licence for two months was caught doing nearly double the speed limit in South Morang this morning.
Greensborough Highway Patrol members clocked the 18-year-old allegedly travelling at 147km/h in an 80km/h zone on Plenty Road about 3.20am.
The South Morang youth’s Mercedes has been impounded for 30 days.
He can also expect to receive a summons in the mail to attend court, charged with driving at excessive speeds.
This impound forms part of Operation Nexus which is a statewide road policing operation targeting impaired driving, speed, distraction, fatigue and seatbelt non-compliance in metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria in an effort to drive down road trauma.
Police could be anywhere, anytime this Easter.
Operation Nexus runs until 11.59pm on Monday 1 April.
