Two offenders charged for speeding in the Yarra Ranges area



A report by the Yarra Ranges Eyewatch Facebook page shows police were busy last weekend.

A 39-rear-old Seville man was detected exceeding the speed limit on Warburton Highway, 76km/hr in 60km/hr zone, as he was leaving Seville on Friday 7 March.

He was spoken to by police and was found to be driving with more than twice the legal alcohol limit in his system of 0.115.

The driver will lose his licence for 11 months and will have to have an interlock device fitted to any vehicle he drives.

On Saturday 8 March a 36-year-old Brunswick West man was detected speeding at 140km/hr along Maroondah Highway, Coldstream on his motorcycle.

The speed limit for this length of road is 80km/hr.

He was also found to be riding with an illicit drug in his system.

His motorcycle was impounded for 30 days and he will have to explain his behaviour to a Magistrate at a later date, where he is likely to lose his licence for an extended period of time.
