Just after 12am, police attached to the Southern Tablelands Traffic and Highway Patrol stopped a semi trailer driving north along the Hume Highway, allegedly driving at 128km/h in a 100km/h zone.

The 42-year-old male driver from Victoria was issued a penalty notice for exceeding the speed limit by more than 20km/h.

The semi trailer was grounded and the driver was issued a defect notice after irregularities with the vehicle’s speed limiter were found.
