Restricted drivers, or 'R' drivers for short, are required by law in Northern Ireland to not exceed a speed limit of 45mph for a period of one year.
In a social media post, Maydown Road Policing said: "Maydown Road Policing officers on patrol in Coleraine stopped this driver who was on R plates at 83mph. That 38mph over their speed limit.
"Young, inexperienced drivers are among our most vulnerable road users so please slow down."
