Rosebud Highway Patrol members detected a car travelling at almost double the speed limit in Rye this afternoon.
It's alleged the Holden Commodore was detected travelling along Marshall Avenue at 98/kph in a 50/kph zone about 3.05pm.
The driver, a 17-year-old Langwarrin boy, then attempted to flee from police, but due to heavy traffic was unable to.
He underwent an oral fluid test which detected the presence of Cannabis.
The boy is a disqualified learner and had only purchased the car yesterday.
Police impounded his Commodore for 30 days and he will have to pay $1010 in towing and storage costs to get it back.
It was also issued with a defect notice.
The driver is expected to be charged on summons with drive whilst disqualified, speed dangerous, evade police, use false plates and use unsafe vehicle.
Investigators are awaiting forensic testing of the oral fluid test.
