A driver has lost his licence after being caught travelling almost 50 km/h over the speed limit in Adelaide’s northern suburbs this morning.

Just before 12pm on Friday 17 April, Road Policing Section officers stopped a Holden sedan on Robert Road at Penfield Gardens after it was detected travelling 129 km/h in an 80 km/h zone.

The driver, a 76‑year‑old man from Redwood Park, was issued with a $2059 fine and nine demerit points for driving at an excessive speed.

He was also issued with a six‑month instant loss of licence.
