Sydney -
A motorist caught speeding in the Australian city of Melbourne on Friday told police he was racing to get “a triple cheeseburger.”
Victoria state police said he was pulled over after clocking 186 kilometres per hour on a 100km/h freeway.
“Brimbank Highway Patrol officers could have been forgiven for thinking they were looking at a low-flying plane when they spotted the 28-year-old's Proton hatch flying down the Princess freeway at 2.14am,” police said.
The unidentified man with the craving for what police said turned out to be “the most expensive cheeseburger in Melbourne” had his car impounded and is expected to face a fine.
He was driving while already suspended, police said.
