Police detected the Holden ute driver speeding along along a wet Torrens Valley Road, Gumeracha at about 8.30pm Friday. The 24-year-old Mannum driver was reported for speeding and issued with a $960 fine. He lost his licence for six months. Police warned that speed is a contributing factor in serious injury and fatal road crashes and when combined with wet weather road conditions and night driving, the chances of a crash are heightened. "It's just not on and with more wet weather forecast, police urge all motorists to slow down and drive to the conditions," a police spokesman said.
