Two P-platers have lost their licences for a month after they were caught speeding in Laverton overnight.
Police first spotted a black Range Rover speeding in the outbound lanes of the Princes Freeway about 11.30pm.
It later came off the Princes Freeway only to return to the freeway, this time heading inbound.
Soon after, a BMW coupe was seen travelling past the Range Rover before the two began racing one another, allegedly reaching speeds of 134km/h in a 100km/h zone.
Westgate Highway Patrol officers intercepted the Range Rover on the freeway and police caught up with the BMW a short time later when it stopped for fuel.
A 21-year-old Tarneit man and 20-year-old Altona North man lost their licences for a month and were each slapped with a $524 fine.
They also lost four demerit points.
