A motorist has been clocked at a staggering 176 km/h on a highway at the top of the South Island.
Police have also clocked a second motorist doing 144 km/h in an 80 km/h zone in a Nelson street.
The speedshave left police despairing.
"Nelson Bays Police have been out this holiday period trying to save lives on the road, but these two speeds - 176 km/h on SH6 and 144 km/h in a 80 km zone in Nelson - show that not everyone cares about road safety," police wrote in a post on Facebook.
Both drivers were pulled up by police during the recent holiday period.
