Hunter police have been left shaking their heads after detecting a learner motorbike rider travelling more than 40 kilometres over the speed limit this week.
Officers were patrolling the Singleton area when they spotted the bike displaying L-plates travelling well-above the signposted 80km speed limit.
They clocked the rider’s top speed at approximately 121 kilometres per hour.
When they pulled the motorbike over, the learner rider was subjected to a roadside breath test which was negative.
He was hit with a $1036 fine for speeding and had his licence suspended for three months.
