A 42-year-old Hallam woman left Victoria Police members “almost lost for words” after being detected driving 251 kilometres per hour at Woodend on Sunday 17 April.
Officers detected the white Volkswagen sedan travelling at more than 140 kilometres per hour over the 110 kilometres per hour speed limit on the Calder Freeway about 12.30am.
The vehicle was intercepted in Kyneton shortly later, where the driver was also seen to be on her phone.
Her vehicle will also be impounded, and she is expected to be charged on summons with numerous offences including conduct endangering life, drive at dangerous speed and using a mobile phone while driving, police say.
This impound was part of Operation Compass, the state-wide road policing operation during the high-risk Easter holiday period.
Police are targeting impaired driving, speed, distraction, and fatigue in high-risk areas throughout metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Operation Compass concludes at 11.59pm on Monday 25 April.
