New car didn’t get very far

Police impounded a car in Truganina this evening after it was seen travelling more than double the speed limit.

The BMW car was driving on Boundary Road in a 60km/h zone when police clocked the car allegedly travelling at a speed of 141km/h about 9.40pm.

Police immediately intercepted the male driver, an 18-year-old man from Truganina.

The man said he had just bought the car half-an-hour ago and it was making a funny noise so he was testing it out.

The car was impounded under hoon legislation at a cost of $938 and the man is expected to be charged on summons with speeding offences.
