A learner driver who was allegedly drugged had his car impounded after being searched at 250 km/h.
The unnamed 20-year-old man, from Smithfield, on the outskirts of Adelaide, was driving a black Holden van on the North-South Highway on Monday night when a police patrol spotted him.
They allege he was recorded speeding to 253 km/h, in a 110 km/h zone, describing it as one of the “highest speeds” they had ever captured.
The anonymous 20-year-old, from Smithfield, on the outskirts of Adelaide, was driving a black Holden van on the North-South Highway.
Police allege he was filmed driving at 253 km/h, in a 110 km/h zone, describing it as one of the “highest speeds” they had ever caught.
The van broke down shortly after police recorded the speed and spoke to the man.
The driver was found to only have a learner’s permit and his passenger also did not have a full driver’s license.
It is also alleged that he tested positive for drugs, although the identity of the drug in the system is still being analysed.
His ute will now be impounded for 28 days and the man has lost his learner’s license for 12 months.
The 20-year-old was charged with aggravated extreme speed, dangerous driving, breaching his learner’s permit, and driving an unregistered motor vehicle.
He will also appear in court at a later date.
