A 26-year-old learner driver has had her car impounded after she was allegedly caught driving 20km/h over the speed limit in Cranbourne West on Friday 26 April.

The woman of Cranbourne was allegedly driving Holden Commodore station wagon on Hall Road about 2.45am when she was clocked driving at 100km/h in an 80km/h zone.

Her vehicle was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1042.40 and she is expected to be charged on summons with traffic related offences.
