Driver of high-performance Audi loses licence after speeding

At about 12.15pm on Sunday 27 September, a mobile speed camera detected an Audi RSQ8 travelling at 106 km/h in a 60 km/h zone on Port Road.

Western District and Road Policing patrols searched the area and located the vehicle and driver a short time later in the car park of a nearby hardware store.

The driver, a 39-year-old Parkside man, was issued a $2,018 fine and nine demerit points for driving at an excessive speed.

He was also issued with an immediate six-month loss of licence.

Drivers who choose to exceed the speed limit put themselves and other road users at risk and can expect to face significant penalties.

Speeding reduces a driver's ability to react and is a major factor in fatal and serious injury crashes on South Australian roads.
