Warning to Aussies as one driver cops 22 demerit points in one go
NSW Traffic and Highway Patrol are holding the driver up as an example after he was caught doing 129 km/h on the Hume Highway.
Aussie drivers are being reminded to follow the road rules after an L Plater copped a whopping 22 demerit points in one hit.
New South Wales Traffic and Highway Patrol are holding the driver up as an example after he was caught doing 129 kilometres per hour on the Hume Highway.
The learner driver was also not displaying yellow L plates on his car and had a mobile phone playing a YouTube video positioned near the steering wheel.
When police questioned the A passenger about her role as a supervisor, she claimed she was asleep.
The offences resulted in numerous fines totaling $1,775.22 demerit points.
However, because learner drivers can only accumulate a maximum of 4 demerit points, he was automatically suspended from driving with a pending extension from New South Wales Transport.
The female passenger also copped a penalty infringement for failing to supervise.
