A motorcyclist has been charged after his speed was checked at more than 100kms over the speed limit in Mornington last night.
Somerville Highway Patrol members detected the Suzuki GSXR600 motorcycle allegedly travelling south on the Mornington-Tyabb Road at 175km/h in a 70 zone about 11.30pm.
The motorcyclist, a 31-year-old Mornington man, came to a stop when intercepted but attempted to drive off as members approached, colliding with the police vehicle.
Police arrested the rider and impounded his motorcycle for 30 days at a cost of $950.
The rider is also expected to be charged on summons with reckless conduct endangering life, unregistered vehicle, disqualified driving, refuse roadside drug test, evade police and other traffic offences.
