An unlicensed learner driver has been charged after he was allegedly caught speeding at 200km/h with his three young children in the car.
Highway patrol officers were conducting speed checks on the M1 motorway, Mooney Mooney, in Sydney’s northwest, on Sunday night when they detected a Holden Commodore allegedly speeding.
The driver allegedly failed to stop when directed and a pursuit was initiated along the motorway, reaching speeds of up to 200km/h in a signposted 110km/h zone.

The car was eventually brought to a stop a short time later when it slammed into a concrete barrier.
Police officers say they then discovered a 28-year-old woman, two boys, aged seven months and five years, and a three-year-old girl, sitting inside in the car.
The children were taken to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead to be checked as a precaution, where the girl was treated for bruising.

Checks revealed the 35-year-old male driver held an expired learner permit and it was disqualified.
He was arrested and taken to Hornsby Police Station where he was charged with police pursuit – not stop – drive dangerously, drive motor vehicle while disqualified, drive with low-range PCA, and speeding.
The Tregear man was refused bail to attend Hornsby Local Court today.
NSW Police said a child at risk notification has been made.
