Motorbike rider caught at 174km/hr on highway, allegedly tests positive to ice
A MOTORBIKE rider allegedly tested positive to the drug ice after he was stopped for speeding along the New England Highway at more than 170 kilometres per hour. Officers from the Traffic Operations Group were conducting speed enforcement on the thoroughfare at Scone, heading south, when a blue Suzuki GSXR motorbike caught their attention about 1pm on July 16. Police said the motorbike's speed was checked at 174 kilometres per hour, "well in excess" of the 100 kilometre per hour limit. Officers stopped the motorbike at the intersection of Kelly and Liverpool streets in Scone and spoke with the 49-year-old man on board. He was handed a fine for speeding by more than 45 kilometres per hour, had his licence suspended on the spot for six months, and his number plates were confiscated for three months. Police allege the rider returned a positive result when he was drug tested for methylamphetamine, or ice. They said further action could be taken depending on the results of further testing. "Excessive speed is the primary contributing factor to fatal crashes in Regional NSW," a NSW Traffic and Highway Patrol spokesperson said. "Arriving late is always better than not arriving at all."
