More than 100km/h over the limit

A P-plater has been charged after she was allegedly detected driving at 145km/h in a 40km/h roadworks zone in Berwick on Sunday 17 July.

Roadworkers had to move to safety as the Holden Commodore narrowly missed a road safety barrier on the Princes Freeway at Berwick about 9.50pm, police said.

Cardinia Highway Patrol members intercepted the vehicle, which had four occupants on board.

The provisional driver, a 23-year-old Pakenham woman, returned an evidentiary breath test of 0.092.

She was charged with a range of offences including reckless conduct endangering life, dangerous speed and exceeding the prescribed concentration of alcohol.

She was bailed to face Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 24 November.
