A Melbourne man has been caught speeding three times in the space of a few hours in what an officer called one of the worst cases of "disregard" of the speed limits he had ever seen.

The 40-year-old man from Pakenham, in Melbourne's outer east, was caught speeding twice by the same highway patrol officers between Pakenham and Garfield.

Each time he was given an infringement notice of $311 and three demerit points.

While still in the presence of police, the man sped off and was detected travelling 134 kilometres per hour in an 80kph zone.

He was pulled over again and had his car impounded for 30 days.

It will cost him $1,060 to get it released.

He will be charged on summons for driving more than 45kph over the speed limit, as well as dangerous speeding.

Police said it was expected the man would also lose his licence for 12 months.

Sergeant Rob Atkinson from the Cardinia Highway Patrol said it was one of the worst cases of a person disregarding the speed limit he had seen in 18 years on the job.

"Most people would've slowed down after receiving the first infringement notice but to be caught again less than three hours later is rarely heard of," he said.

"Travelling at speeds of 134kph heading into a 60kph zone while still in police presence shows that he has no regard for his own safety or for the safety of other motorists."
