A young couple have lead police on a chase across the Southern Tablelands on Monday, starting the incident driving 200km/h before crashing into a fence.
NSW police said the 22-year-old man and 21-year-old woman began their spree about 8am on Monday, when police noticed their Holden sedan driving in excess of 200km/h on the Hume Highway, near the intersection of Munro Road.

They evaded police and entered a service station in Marulan, failing to stop for police before driving on the wrong side of the Hume Highway, narrowly missing an oncoming car.
Police did not pursue the couple due to safety concerns.
A short time later the couple were spotted in the same car on Marulan South Road, pulling a u-turn and driving 160km/h in an 80km/h zone after noticing the police.
The male driver lost control of the sedan before it left the roadway and hit a fence.
The uninjured couple were then arrested by police, with officers saying they noticed drugs and drug-taking equipment.
The 22-year-old man was charged with a number of traffic and drug-related offences, including driving with an expired license and possession of a prohibited drug.
He was refused bail and was expected to appear in Goulburn Local Court on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old woman was charged for possessing prohibited drugs and a knife.
NSW Police's highway command's Acting Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith sad incidents like these put road users at risk.
"With the road toll at 195, it is a clear lack of personal responsibility on the part of some drivers that put the lives of drivers, their passengers and other road users at great risk," Acting Assistant Commissioner Smith said.
"While the driver and passenger in this incident get to go home to their loved ones, sadly many others don't."
