A SYDNEY L-Plater was fined $1859 and had his licence suspended on the spot after he was allegedly clocked doing 141kmh on the Hume Highway at Mittagong on Wednesday night.
Mittagong Highway Patrol caught the 26-year-old, who is not allowed to travel more than 80kmh as a learner driver, shortly after 9.30pm heading north in a silver Toyota Camry sedan.
Under the new demerit point scheme introduced on Wednesday, exceeding the speed limit by more than 45kmh attracts a loss of six demerit points, a six-month suspension and a $1859 fine.
A 27-yerar-old Enfield man, who was supervising the driver, was issued with an infringement notice for failing to supervise a learner driver.
