Man caught allegedly driving 60km/h over 110km/h speed limit

Police have charged a 21-year-old Morayfield man following investigations into multiple alleged dangerous driving incidents across the South East over the past three months.

Officers from Highway Patrol Sunshine Coast initially stopped the man on 9 November on the Bruce Highway at Eumundi, allegedly going more than 60km/h over the 110km/h speed limit.

Following further investigations, police were able to link the man and the motorbike to several other alleged dangerous driving incidents across the Sunshine Coast, Moreton and Brisbane regions.

Those include the motorbike allegedly travelling at high speed along Gympie Road in Carseldine on 21 October, the motorbike allegedly driving dangerously along the Bruce Highway through Sunshine Coast on 7 November and proceeded to allegedly drive at high speeds through a residential area in Morayfield.

Police attended his home in Morayfield on 30 November and arrested the man.

He has since been charged with 10 counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and one count each of possessing dangerous drugs, failing to stop for police and obstructing police.

The man has also received a high-speed TIN, worth $1780 and eight demerit points, in addition to three other TINS for number plate offences.

He’s expected to appear in Caboolture Magistrates Court on 22 December for sentencing.
