A Victoria Police Highway Patrol veteran declared 'I don't care about speed' as he drove at up to 230km/h to a job, a court has heard.
Leading Senior Constable Bradley Beecroft was charged after he travelled at a high speed to help an injured colleague who was involved in a collision on the side of a freeway.
He appeared at Wangaratta Magistrates' Court today for a contest hearing, which will run over four days.

Dashcam vision along with police body-worn camera footage was played in court today, where he was recorded saying: "I don't care about speed" after passing a speed camera.
He and his partner were responding, under lights and sirens, to another officer who had been rear-ended on the Hume Highway near Eurora in Victoria's north-east.

The court heard the injured officer had said on the radio he was injured, "dazed and confused".
