Police arrested and charged two men for separate driving offences on the same day, including one driver allegedly caught speeding at almost double the posted speed limit.
An ACT Policing spokesperson said a 24-year-old man was stopped while driving a Honda Accord on William Hovell Drive at midday on Wednesday (28 May).
The man had allegedly been detected travelling at 171 km/h in a 90 km/h zone.
He was immediately suspended from driving for three months and his vehicle seized. He will be issued a summons to attend the ACT Magistrates Court.
At about 10 pm that night, police saw a Holden Cruze being driven across a nature strip to allegedly avoid officers on Belconnen Way in Aranda.
Officers stopped the car driven by a 32-year-old man whose licence was disqualified in Queensland.
The man was transported to City Police Station where he allegedly returned a breath analysis of 0.125.
He was arrested and scheduled to face the ACT Magistrates Court on Thursday (29 May), charged with drink driving, driving while disqualified and driving on a nature strip.
