WA boy 'drove at 183km/h with other teens'

A 17-year-old P-plater has been charged with reckless driving after allegedly being caught speeding at 183km/h with two 15-year-old passengers in his vehicle south of Perth.

Police say the boy did a u-turn and drove at high speed in the opposite direction after being pinged in a 100km/h speed zone in Dawesville around 10pm on Friday.

All three occupants were taken to Mandurah Police Station where the driver's parents were called.

The car was impounded for 28 days under Western Australia's "hoon" laws and the driver will appear in court at a later date.
