An unaccompanied Clyde North learner driver has shocked police after allegedly being clocked doing 200km/h in Cranbourne North in the early morning of Sunday 30 March.
Police were patrolling along Thompsons Road when they spotted two vehicles allegedly racing each other at about 1am.
One of the vehicles, a blue Volkswagen Golf R, was detected doing more than double the 80km/h speed limit, travelling at exactly 200km/h, police say.
The driver allegedly turned off his headlights and fled the scene.
Officers located the driver in a nearby street as he was exiting the vehicle.
The 18-year-old Clyde North man’s vehicle was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1138.10.
On top of that, police say he can expect to be charged on summons with numerous offences including speeding, participating in an unlawful street race, unaccompanied learner and failing to drive with headlights at night.
Investigations into identifying the driver of the second vehicle remain ongoing.
