Two teenagers have lost their licences over alleged speeding offences in the Riverina on the weekend.
On Saturday (7 June), at about 11:50 am, a 19-year-old P-plate rider was allegedly detected by police riding his orange Kawasaki motorcycle along the Kidman Way in Coleambally at 188 km/h.
The male was stopped by an officer and issued with a notice for exceeding the speed limit by more than 45 km/h. The speed limit on that highway is 100 km/h. His licence was immediately suspended.
His motorbike registration was also suspended and the registration plates returned to road authority Transport for NSW.
On the same day, a P-plate driver was allegedly caught speeding in Moombooldool, a small town near Barellan.
