With Stephen Taylor
Hoons pay the penalty
A P-PLATE driver from Skye who rolled his 2000 Toyota ute, above, at Somerville Secondary College oval, 11pm, Saturday 13 April, told police his friends had “egged him on” to drive faster. After asking police to call his mother, the driver admitted to doing doughnuts and skids alongside his two friends before losing control of his vehicle. He was one of two hoon drivers caught by
Hastings police with help from Hastings and Somerville eyewitnesses. In a similar incident, a P-plater from Bittern rolled his 1995 Nissan Patrol, right, in the Hastings marina car park about 11pm, Tuesday 26 March, after losing control at speed. With his friend as a passenger, the driver told police: “I normally do burnouts, but this time I lost it.” Both drivers will receive summonses to attend
Frankston Magistrates’ Court to answer a range of driving offences.
Eyes on the prize A MAN picked up by Mornington police leaving a licensed venue in Main Street last week later allegedly blew 0.111 per cent. Police impounded the Sandhurst’s man’s Ford after an eagle-eyed sergeant spotted it in Murray
Street about 2am, Monday 29 April. Leading Senior Constable Natalie Dean, of police media, said the 20-year-old P-plater told police he was parking in the dark, dead end street so his car would be safe. His licence was suspended and he is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving. His car was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1010.
