Police say the black Honda Civic was clocked at 170km/h on the Hume Highway at Holbrook on Monday afternoon.
Highway patrol officers, who had been carrying out speed enforcement duties in the area, pulled over the sedan and spoke to the driver around 4.40pm.
"I am in a rush," police say they were told when the driver, who produced a Victorian licence, was quizzed about her haste on the road.
