Wednesday, 05 September 2012 06:02:10 PM
Police have suspended the licence of a learner motorcyclist and confiscated the machine’s registration plates after it was allegedly caught speeding through a school zone in Sydney’s southwest this morning.
Around 9am (Wednesday 5 September 2012), police were conducting speed enforcement duties in a school zone on Elizabeth Drive at Liverpool.
Officers allegedly detected a Kawasaki motorcycle travelling at nearly 90kph in the 40kph zone.
Police stopped the motorcycle a short distance away and spoke with the 20-year-old rider.
The man had only held his learner’s motorcycle licence for two months.
Police have suspended the man’s licence for six months and issued a speeding fine worth $2296.
Officers also used new legislation to confiscate the man’s motorcycle registration plates.
Traffic and Highway Patrol Operation’s Commander, Superintendent Stuart Smith said this sort of behaviour is not only irresponsible but incredibly dangerous.
“Highway patrol officers from Liverpool Highway Patrol have done well to prevent what could have been a tragic outcome for either the rider or the most vulnerable road users, our children.
“Motorcyclists need to appreciate that speeding can have tragic outcomes. Already this year, 48 riders have lost their lives on the state’s roads.”
