A vehicle has been impounded and a driver set to receive a court summons following a series of alleged road offences on Good Friday 18 April.

Police say that Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol officers spotted a black BMW speeding south along Prince Highway at 164 km/h, more than 80 km/h over the posted speed limit.

Police say that the learner driver fled and that the car was intercepted following a chase, at the Reddy Service Station at Webb Street, Narre Warren.
