A woman has had her riders licence suspended after leading police officers on a high speed pursuit through Sydney’s southern suburbs.

About 8.50pm yesterday Central Metropolitan Highway Patrol officers were undertaking Operation Kilowatt, targeting modified vehicles and antisocial drivers.

Whilst patrolling, the officers detected a motorcycle travelling southbound on General Holmes Drive at Brighton-Le-Sands, allegedly travelling at 117 kph in the 60 kph zone.

Police caught up to the cycle near the intersection of Bay Street where the rider was stopped in a right hand turn lane.

As police approached the motorcycle the rider accelerated away south on the Grand Parade and the officers commenced a pursuit.

The officers will allege the rider reached speeds of 180kph in the 60kph zone and continually slowed down and then accelerated away from the pursuing officers.

The rider eventually stopped in Chuter Avenue where she was arrested and taken to St George Police Station.

The 27-year-old woman’s licence was suspended and the registration of the motorcycle returned to the Roads and Maritime Service for three months.

She was charged with exceed speed by more than 45 kph, engage in police pursuit – not stop (Skye’s law) and drive in a manner dangerous to the public and granted bail to appear at Kogarah Local Court on 16 April.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_Skye%27s_law

"A law introduced in February 2010 by Premier Kristina Keneally and her New South Wales (Australian) state government, imposing penalties for those who evade police and instigate police pursuits. Keneally dubbed these new offence laws as "Skye's Law" in honour of 'Baby Skye', who died as a result of injuries sustained when a stolen vehicle, which led police on a high-speed police chase in Sydney's south-west, collided into Skye's family car. Skye Sassine died at 19 months old."
