00:00Queensland police caught a Tesla driver speeding more than 50 kilometres per hour over the
00:04limit in a school zone, landing him a hefty fine and licensed suspension.
00:10The driver, a 38-year-old Pacific Pines man, copped a $1,854 fine, eight demerit points
00:18and an immediate six-month license suspension for the offence.
00:21It's horrible, the reason I stopped you is in relation to your speed.
00:24Do you know that's a school zone right there?
00:31So we're detecting your speed at 92 kilometres an hour.
00:34You were inside the 40 zone, the school zone, as you were doing that speed, but what if
00:39your son was running across the road and didn't see someone driving down the street at 90
00:43kilometres an hour, you know?
00:44But that's why we have 40k zones, so we protect the children.
00:49Being at 92 kilometres an hour puts you more than 40 kilometres over the speed limit, which
00:52is our highest bracket, so it's eight demerit points and $1,854 infringement.
00:58We impose a six-month high-speed suspension on your license, so there'll be six months
01:01where you won't be able to drive.
01:03Take care, mate.
