An Australian teenager's attempt to excuse his excessive speed was met with disbelief by police. The 17-year-old, driving a Hyundai i30, was clocked at 187 km/h in an 80 km/h zone. His defense, "Couldn't have been me, my car doesn't go that fast," was quickly debunked, as the vehicle is capable of reaching such speeds.
The driver faced additional charges for testing positive to cannabis and driving an unregistered vehicle, as its registration had been cancelled due to unpaid fines. His license was suspended, and he is due in court. The incident underscores the dangers of reckless driving and the strict penalties for violating traffic laws, particularly for provisional license holders.
