Default "Serial speeder" sets new speed record....

A P-PLATER who clocked Victoria's highest recorded road speed of 255km/h during a marathon police chase has appeared in court.

Justin Andrew Pickering, 20, evaded police in Victoria and NSW during five pursuits over 500km on August 2 last year.

The court heard he drove at 140km/h on the Hume Highway at Euroa in his new Subaru WRX STI.

Pickering pleaded guilty at Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court to charges including reckless conduct endangering life, driving without P-plates, and exceeding the speed limit.

Police said he had driven at up to 255km/h, which was the fastest speed recorded by a car in Victoria.

Pickering's driving licence was disqualified in Western Australia and Queensland -- but he held a Victorian licence.

The chase ended when Pickering drove into a dead-end street in Craigieburn.

Pickering will appear in court again in March.
