Police conducting speed checks on the Federal Highway near Wollogorang, south of Goulburn, clocked the silver Mitsubishi travelling well in excess of the 110kmh limit.
Police stopped the car vehicle and the driver produced a P2 provisional licence, which limits his speed on the highway to 100kmh.
When asked about his speed, the driver stated, "I was overtaking", yet police allege his vehicle was the only one on the highway at the time.
He had four passengers in the car.
The driver received a traffic infringement notice for exceeding the speed limit by more than 45kmh, which carries a fine of $2794, and another for not displaying his P plates ($302).
The driver's licence was immediately confiscated and suspended for a period of six months.
