A 20-year-old p-plater from Bonnie Brook in Melbourne's north-west is expected to be charged after allegedly dangerously speeding 80km/h over the limit. The driver was allegedly clocked at 180km/h in a 100km zone on the Monash Freeway in Glen Waverley in the early hours of Sunday morning. Nunawading Highway Patrol officers caught the driver behind the wheel of a Hyundai i30 just before Jackson's Road in Mulgrave. The driver allegedly stated she "had to be somewhere." Senior Constable Paul Hogan said in a statement: "The driver may have to utilise public transport or sneakers next time she needs to be 'somewhere', as her Hyundai was impounded for 30 days at cost of $1159."
