‘Day dreaming’ driver in court

His matter was heard at Shepparton Magistrates’ Court in his absence.

Prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Carita Thompson told the court O’Sullivan was picked up by police driving at 85km/h in a 60km/h zone on Doyles Rd at Shepparton on February 10.

He was also driving on a learner’s permit that had been cancelled in 2020.

When asked about the speeding at the time, the then 29-year-old told police he “was day dreaming”, Leading Sen Constable Thompson said.

He also told them he knew his licence was disqualified.

O’Sullivan was fined $800 and his licence was suspended for three months.
