Speeder caught in far north

About 2.15pm on Wednesday 26 June, Woomera Police were performing speed detection duties on the Stuart Highway at Oakden Hills when they detected a Ford Utility travelling at 149km/h in a 110km/h speed zone.

Police stopped the vehicle and spoke with the driver.

A 26-year-old man from Salisbury North was issued an expiation notice for excessive speed totalling $1734.

Speeding is one of the major causes of death and serious injury on South Australian roads. The speed of a vehicle affects the risk of a crash happening and the severity of injuries likely to be sustained in a crash. Even a small change in speed can make a big difference in road trauma.
