Ute driver faces speeding charges

A NARRE Warren man will face court after police clocked him driving at 90 kilometres and hour over the speed limit last week.
Police officers from Casey Highway Patrol said they first saw the car, a black 2009 Holden utility, being driven erratically on Narre Warren North Road just before 9pm on Thursday.
Police said the driver, a 30-year-old Narre Warren man, was travelling at 169 kilometres an hour in an 80 km/h zone.
He will face court charged with speeding and dangerous driving and associated traffic offences.The speeds match that of a high-speed pursuit near Cranbourne last month.
On 16 May at 10.50am, police attempted to stop a motorcyclist travelling 169km/h in an 80km/h zone but they had to abandon the chase to ensure the safety of other drivers.
Police are still searching for the motorcyclist.
Casey Highway Patrol Sergeant Pat McGavigan said it was disappointing to see so many people disregarding road rules.“We don’t set the speed limit, we enforce it,” Sgt McGavigan said.
“People think it is unlikely they will be caught (driving dangerously), but we are out there targeting this behaviour to try and reduce road trauma. We are out every day. If you don’t want to be caught, then drive responsibly.”
