Pizza man fined for very fast takeaway.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian pizza delivery man gave fast food a new meaning when he was caught, and fined, for driving 53 km (33 miles) over the speed limit.

The 20-year-old man, driving on a provisional driver's license, 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 131 kms (82 miles) in an 80 kph (50 mph) 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 133 km in the same zone.

Police sergeant Brendan White said on Tuesday the delivery man, who was not named, was fined A$1520 (682 pounds) and lost his license for 15 months.

Fast food indeed. Moron.

What an idiot he should be put in jail.

Nah I don't think he should be put in jail. People speed all the time and as long as he didn't hurt anyone, I think a fine and suspension is penalty enough. I actually find it quite amusing that the police let him complete the delivery.

How the hell did he only lose his license for 15 months ???
ON HIS P'S!! Wtf?

And I want to know how the heck he got that fast going around Townsville, there's so many damn hills and turns, unless he was on his way out of town, west, that road is fairly straight.

Anyway, he's a moron, and gives up Learner/Provisional drivers a bad name..
