A 20-year-old woman from Dallas will be $913.70 worse off after she was caught speeding in Campbellfield last weekend.

Fawkner Highway Patrol officers detected a Honda Civic travelling at 156km/h in a 70km/h section of Sydney Road about 10.45pm last Saturday, December 23.

The car was intercepted and the 20-year-old was spoken to by police.

The ‘P’ plate driver had her car impounded and is expected to be summonsed to appear at court to face traffic charges.

This intercept forms part of Operation Roadwise, a statewide road policing operation conducted over the Christmas and New Year period.

Police are targeting impaired driving, speed, distraction, and fatigue in high-risk areas throughout metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria, in an effort to reduce road trauma.

The operation commenced at 12:01am on Friday 15 December and runs until 11:59pm on Monday 1 January.
