Facts
A Kenworth B-Double combination was directed to stop at the Jones Island Heavy Vehicle Checking Station on 19th February 2020. Tests were carried out and it was found that the speed limiter was set to 125.5 km/h – more than 25 per cent above the allowed threshold. The matter was heard in Forster Local Court on 15 July. The prosecution submitted that the offence was at the higher end of seriousness, as the company’s truck was able to travel at more than 25 per cent above the maximum speed limit, creating a real risk to public safety.
As reported by NHVR.
