Police have been left shaking their heads after catching a driver speeding down the same Newcastle street twice in one day.
Highway patrol officers were conducting a speed enforcement on Cormorant Road at Kooragang on Tuesday afternoon as part of Operation ANZAC Day.
Around 5pm they stopped a vehicle travelling more than 10km over the speed limit. The 30-year-old woman behind the wheel was ticketed and sent on her way, albeit with a few less demerit points.
But an hour later, she was clocked speeding in the opposite direction on the same road, forcing officers to go after her again.
The woman lost a reported 12 demerit points from the two incidents.
