It will be alleged that just after 10pm on Saturday 26 April, police were conducting speed detection duties on the Sturt Highway when they recorded a Nissan sedan travelling at 179km/h in a 110km/h zone.

The driver, a 25-year-old man from Christie Downs was issued with a fine of $1997 and nine demerit points.

He was also issued an immediate loss of licence notice for six months.
