15.01.2022 From:NSW Police Force 5 drivers lose licences after serious traffic offences on the Central Coast Tuesday, 10 November 2020 ... Police are disappointed at the conduct of five motorists for driving in dangerous manner along the North Coast. About 10pm yesterday (Monday 9 November 2020), officers attached to the Kuring-Gai and Brisbane Waters Highway Patrol observed five high-performance vehicles allegedly travelling well in excessive of the 60km/h posted speed limit, overtaking vehicles over double unbroken lines and proceeding through a stop sign along the Old Pacific Highway between Bar Point and Calga. Police stopped the vehicles and spoke with the drivers, with each issued infringements for exceed speed by 45km/h, not keep left of dividing line and not stop at the stop line. Police stopped the drivers where the following action was taken: A 26-year-old man from Zetland was driving an Audi A5. He was the holder of an international driver’s licence. His driving privileges were withdrawn for six months and the vehicles number plates were confiscated for three months. A 27-year-old man from Mascot was driving a Ford Mustang. He was the holder of an international driver’s licence. His driving privileges were withdrawn for six months. A 22-year-old man from Zetland was driving a BMW. He was the holder of an international driver’s licence. His driving privileges were withdrawn for six months and the vehicles number plates were confiscated for three months. A 33-year-old man from Turramurra was driving a Honda S2000. His NSW driver’s licence was suspended for six months and the vehicles number plates were confiscated for three months. A 34-year-old man from Blacktown was driving a WRX. His NSW P2 driver’s licence suspended for six months. The man initially supplied false a false identity to police. However, following enquires by police his correct identity was established. He was issued with infringements not display P plates, drive prohibited vehicle and state false name. Traffic North Commander, Acting Superintendent Anthony Boyd, said that it was disappointing some people still fail to comprehend the dangers associated with such reckless driving. It is bad enough to detect one person driving in such a dangerous manner, but to detect five at once is beyond belief, A/Supt Boyd said. It is only because to the diligence of those highway patrol officers who stopped the motorists that prevented a tragedy which was just waiting to happen.
