SEVERAL Brimbank hoons have been caught out breaking the road rules recently, including a P-plate driver from Delahey.
The 21-year-old had his vehicle impounded for 30 days after police allegedly detected him speeding in Sunshine West last Tuesday.
Brimbank Highway Patrol members allegedly captured the car travelling at 176km/h in a 100km/h zone on the Western Ring Rd.
In a nearby municipality, Hobsons Bay Highway Patrol witnessed two motorcyclists allegedly disobeying the law in Grieve Parade, Altona North.
Although a bright yellow police vehicle was parked behind the motorcyclists when they began racing, the riders allegedly reached speeds of above 140km/h in a 70km/h zone.
A 40-year-old man from Airport West and a 35-year-old man from Keilor East were intercepted and both lost their motorcycles under the Victorian hoon legislation for 30 days.
The riders will have to pay over $740 to have their vehicles released and face court at a later date.
On the same day, a 22-year-old Taylors Lakes man was detected allegedly driving through a red light in Broadmeadows.
Police observed the vehicle as the driver allegedly continued to speed at 190km/h while driving in a 70km/h area of Johnstone St.
The vehicle was intercepted and the driver was found to have a suspended licence.
When officers asked the Taylors Lakes man why he was driving at such excessive speeds, the motorist allegedly claimed “he was just going to get some petrol”.
