Shepparton Highway Patrol Sergeant Janne Kennedy said it was “absolutely staggering” that some drivers thought it was acceptable to drive at high speeds on Victorian roads, saying it was a “blatant disregard for human life”.
“People who drive like this are gambling with lives — theirs and everyone else’s on the road,” she said.
“If you’re caught driving at these speeds, you can expect to lose your licence, your car, and in many cases, face court.
“We want everyone to get home safely, and we’ll continue doing everything we can to keep dangerous drivers off our roads.”
