A motorbike rider intercepted speeding 48km/h above the limit at Stanley has been issued an infringement notice for 4-months licence disqualification, six demerit points, and $1161.50.  

The 44-year-old man from Queensland was intercepted about 3.50pm yesterday, riding a red Honda CBR100RR motorcycle at 148km/h in a 100km/h zone on the Stanley Highway. 

Sergeant Lee-Anne Walters said, “The section of road the rider was speeding on was narrow and heavily used by tourists and local motorists, and the consequences of his dangerous riding could have been tragic.” 

“I urge every motorcyclist to consider their safety, and the safety of others, every time they ride on our roads.”  

“Obey the road rules, to help us keep everyone safe.”
