A young Montrose motorbike rider, who was being monitored by police, was caught travelling 52km/hour over the speed limit.

The 19-year-old male learner rider was detected riding at 122km/hr in a 70km/hr on Canterbury Road in Montrose on Wednesday morning.

Police received a report from a concerned member of the public, via Crime Stoppers, regarding the young Montrose resident’s riding behaviour in the area over the last few weeks.

Heeding the concern, police sat off his address and were disappointed to observe the poor driving for themselves as he left for work.

His motorcycle was impounded for 30 days and he can expect to lose his learners permit for a minimum of 12 months. He will also have an appearance in front of a Magistrate.
