A young driver has lost his licence and copped an eye-watering fine after police say he was caught speeding at an astonishing 60 kilometres over the limit.
The 25-year-old Honda driver copped a $2,794 fine after he was found to be driving 130kph in a 70kph zone in Sydney's south.
The driver had his licence suspended on the spot for a total of six months and will be forced to cough up almost $3,000 as a result of what police described on Friday as a "poor decision".
