A teenage driver on a restricted licence who sped down Auckland's Northern Motorway at 200km/h has been accused by police of mind-boggling stupidity.
The 19-year-old - whose licence meant he should not have been driving solo after 10pm - was heading south past Tristram Ave about 12.40am yesterday when clocked by a stationary police patrol.
He was driving a BMW car with a V12 engine, capable of a top speed of 250km/h.
When police caught him, the driver had crossed the harbour bridge and reached Fanshawe St in central Auckland, a distance of almost 10km.
