SYDNEY - An Australian pizza delivery man gave fast food a new meaning when he was caught, and fined, for driving 53kmh over the speed limit.
The 20-year-old man, driving on a provisional driver's licence, said he was speeding because he was 20 minutes late with his delivery in the tropical northern town of Townsville.
Police clocked him driving at 131kmh in an 80kmh zone on Saturday, but waited for him to deliver his pizza before booking him.
On his return journey to the pizza shop, he was caught
speeding at 133kmh in the same zone.
Police sergeant Brendan White said on Tuesday the delivery
man, who was not named, was fined $1520 and lost his
licence for 15 months.
