‘Sheer stupidity’

“I’M an idiot.”
That was the excuse a 20-year-old Narre Warren man offered to police after they caught him speeding 53km/h over the limit in Berwick over the weekend.
The man was driving a 1992 Daihatsu Charade at 133 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on the Princes Highway on Saturday when he was pulled over by police at 2.30am.
A 21-year-old male passenger was also in the car with two 14-year-old girls, one not wearing a seat belt.
The car was impounded for 48 hours and the driver will face charges including speed dangerous, exceeding the speed limit and having passenger in the vehicle with no seat belt.
Casey Traffic Management Unit Acting Sergeant Allen Inderwisch told the News the driving behaviour of the Narre Warren man was sheer stupidity.
“With all the road trauma we have had in Casey, we still have inexperienced drivers behaving like bloody idiots on the road,” Act Sgt Inderwisch said.
“This had the potential to end in the loss of four more lives. You have a young driver with three young passengers, one of whom was not wearing a seatbelt. How do they honestly think that it will end if something goes wrong?” he said.
