A triple-0 driver and mother of two has lost her driving license after being caught driving a motorcycle at a speed described by a judge as ‘incomprehensible’.
Stacey Angeline Haif, 37, was caught driving a red Ducati motorcycle at 120km/h in a 70km/h zone on Sherriffs Road in Lonsdale, Adelaide, in October 2022.
Ms Haif pleaded guilty at Christies Beach Magistrates Court on Thursday to exceeding the speed limit by 45km/h or more.
Magistrate Kylie Schulz convicted the mother-of-two for clearly posing a risk to herself and others on the road.
“Although the weather and road conditions were good, there was a moderate flow of traffic and if you were traveling at that speed you clearly posed a risk to other road users and also to yourself,” Ms Schulz said. as reported by the Advertiser.

Magistrate Kylie Schulz said the speed at which Ms Haif drove along Sherriffs Road in Lonsdale (pictured) was ‘incomprehensible’ and posed a danger to herself and others.
Ms Schulz said the fact that Ms Haif was a mother made her actions even less understandable.
“No real explanation is given as to why you were traveling at that speed and engaging in behavior that was so risky to yourself and the community,” she said.
“I take into account that you are a mother with responsibilities for two children, but as a mother this kind of behavior is incomprehensible when you consider the potential risks you impose on other families – other children.”
Ms Haif’s counsel told the court she was homeless and ‘significantly stressed’ at the time of the offence.
She was fined $2,400 and will not be able to get her driver’s license back for five months and 11 days from June 3.
