An illegally modified Subaru Impreza caught doing almost 200km/h on State Highway 1 is just one example of drivers caught speeding on Waikato's roads recently.

Waikato Police say those caught travelling at excess speeds should get used to walking, busing or cadging a lift.

'Totally unacceptable” is how Inspector Freda Grace, describes the latest incidents.

'The first incident occurred about 10.20am on Sunday when an officer stopped a southbound Subaru Impreza on SH1 between Taupiri and Horotiu travelling at about 194km/h.

'When stopped, the 21-year-old Waiuku man was arrested and his license suspended.

'His illegally modified vehicle was impounded and he faces a charge of unnecessary exhibition of speed.”

Freda says Sunday's incident followed an arrest the night before of a highly intoxicated driver involved in a non-injury crash on Hamilton's Te Rapa Road.

'In that incident the driver drove his car across the road into a parked car,” says Freda. 'When breath tested that driver returned a breath alcohol result of 1362mgs.

'A motorist stopped yesterday morning travelling at 137km/h in the 70km/h restricted speedzone outside Whitikahu School also had his license suspended.

'So the message is clear: Pay no heed to your speed and you will be held to account, lose your license and end up walking to work or catching a bus.”

Freda says motorists wanting to do their part in keeping Waikato roads safe are encouraged to make use of the *555 phone.

'Otherwise you can do your part by telling that person you're travelling with to slow down,” she adds. 'You may just save a life.”
