The Anzac Bridge at Pyrmont in the inner city has a speed limit of 60km/h.

The novice rider from Western Sydney told Police that he had purchased the motorcycle the previous day and this was the first time he had ridden on the road. Learner riders are not allowed to exceed 90km/h in NSW.

He was hit with a $2547 fine for exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h and had his licence suspended immediately for six months. Police also suspended the registration of his Yamaha MT07 for three months.

The learner approved motorcycle costs about $12,000 and has a top speed of about 210km/h.

NSW Highway Patrol also caught a 22-year-old driver from southwest Sydney at the same time. The P1 licence holder was also caught driving a Mitsubishi Lancer at more than 120km/h in the 60km/h zone.

Last year police caught a motorcycle rider was caught doing 224km/h on the M1 motorway near Helensburgh south of Sydney on Sunday morning. The speed limit on this section of the road is 110km/h.

At the time police were unable to impound the motorcycle.

Police are unable to impound a vehicle because if a vehicle is registered to a business or someone other than the rider or driver is caught breaking the law.

Cox played The Man Without Fear in three seasons of his own series as well as  The Defenders  miniseries in the Netflix corner of the Marvel world.

While the Netflix Marvel shows including  Daredevil ,  Jessica Jones  and  The Punisher  were technically part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in so far as they referenced incidents from the MCU movies, it only flowed one way. The MCU films never acknowledged the presence of its TV arm (at the time run through a separate and now-defunct studio division) so Cox’s Daredevil wasn’t MCU canon, per se.
