A triple 0 operator and mother of two lost her license after she was caught driving a motorcycle at a speed a judge described as “beyond comprehension”.
Stacey Angeline Haif, 37, was caught driving a red Ducati motorcycle at 120km/h in a 70km/h zone on Sherriffs Road in Lonsdale, Adelaide, in October 2022.
Mrs Haif pleaded guilty to exceeding the speed limit by 45km/h or more at Christies Beach Magistrates Court on Thursday.
Magistrate Kylie Schulz slammed the mother-of-two for clearly posing a risk to herself and others on the road.

Stacey Angeline Haif, 37, lost her license for five months and was fined $2,400 after she was caught traveling 120 km/h in a 70 km/h zone in October 2022.
Magistrate Kylie Schulz said the pace at which Ms Haif was driving along Sherriffs Road in Lonsdale (pictured) was ‘beyond comprehension’ and posed a danger to herself and others.
Schulz said the fact that Haif was a mother made her actions even less understandable.
“There is no real explanation given as to why you were traveling at that speed and engaging in behavior that was so risky to yourself and the community,” he said.
“I realize that you are a mother with responsibilities for two children, but as a mother, this type of behavior is beyond comprehension in terms of the potential risks that you impose on other families, on other children.”
Ms Haif’s defense lawyer told the court she was homeless and “very stressed” at the time of the offence.
He was fined $2,400 and will not be able to get his license back for five months and 11 days starting June 3.
