A 49-year-old Lamborghini driver has been fined $1,854, lost eight demerit points and had his licence suspended for six months after he was detected speeding at 147km/h in a 100km/h speed zone at Dalby.
It is alleged Toowoomba highway patrol officers saw the Lamborghini, being driven by a Mudgeeraba man, along the Bunya Highway shortly before 12pm while they were conducting proactive patrols on March 15th.
In 2024, 303 lives were lost on QLD roads, including 59 in the Darling Downs District. So far in 2025, 47 lives have been lost on Queensland roads including 6 in the Darling Downs District.
Toowoomba Highway Patrol Officer in Charge Senior Sergeant Kim Hill says the fatal five, including speeding, continue to be leading causes of fatal crashes.
“Travelling at excessive speeds such as this is inexcusable and has been proven to risk your life and the lives of those around you,” said Snr Sgt Hill.
“Police will continue to adopt a zero-tolerance policy of unsafe driving to deter these behaviours, that includes those travelling on our rural roads and highways.
“We want to remind motorists that road safety is everyone’s responsibility, so slow down so that you and everyone else around you can get to where they need to be safely.”
