Was reading the following news article about a P plater speeding and thought it was just the typical journos jumping on a weak story but was surprised to hear the outcome. Wish you would hear more outcomes like this:

A P-PLATER has been issued traffic infringement notices after allegedly exceeding the speed limit with an unrestrained child in the car yesterday.

A Victorian p-plate driver has been issued traffic infringement notices after allegedly exceeding the speed limit with an unrestrained child in the car*yesterday.

About 2.30pm yesterday,*police attached the Goulburn Highway Patrol were conducting speed checks on the Hume Highway at the Goulburn*Bypass.

They detected a Victorian-registered red Ford Falcon allegedly*travelling at 128km/h in the 110km/h*zone.
