A man has allegedly been caught speeding down a highway at 235km/h with three children in the backseat – none of whom were wearing seatbelts.
The 28-year-old was clocked at 135km/h over the speed limit on the Calder Highway near Marong, in central Victoria, on Tuesday afternoon.
Police initially decided it was too dangerous to pursue the Holden sedan but caught up with the driver less than an hour later.

Highway patrol officers quickly pounced after the driver pulled into a carwash in the regional city of Bendigo.
Video from the scene shows officers talking with the man as he sits in his car before escorting him into a police van.
It appeared the man also had a woman seated in the passenger seat next to him, but their relationship is not known.
A baby was among the three young children rescued from the backseat of the car.
