The 19-year-old probationary motorist from Portland was detected driving at 180 kilometres an hour in a 100 zone by members of the Portland highway patrol.
The young driver was served an immediate ban and had their vehicle impounded.
They'll be charged by summons to appear at the Magistrates' Court at a later date.
It comes as police warned they would have a highly visible presence across the south-west as revellers prepare for the new year.
Police Acting Senior Sergeant Cameron Ross said in Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Portland and Port Campbell all available police members would be patrolling licensed venues and foreshore areas on New Year's Eve.
