- Police say the supervising passenger had been disqualified from driving, breaching the requirement for learners to be accompanied by a fully licensed driver.
- Officers impounded the vehicle for 30 days, with impound costs listed at $1,016.
- Victoria Police says the 23-year-old is expected to be charged with unaccompanied-learner and speeding offences, while potential charges for the supervisor have not been confirmed.
