The 30 year-old man, suspected to be a taxi driver, was spotted by EMPD officers, overtaking multiple vehicles on the road.

The EMPD taxi task team arrested a 30-year-old man for reckless and negligent driving.

The officers were on regular public patrol when they spotted a speeding Toyota Quantum at Zonkiziwe, a township about 18km outside Alberton.

Officers said they counted this taxi driver overtaking seven vehicles at once, which was very alarming to them, and they gave chase.

It is unclear if the suspect was trying to get away or was unaware that the officers were chasing him; he did not stop.

The officers managed to stop the suspect before he got on the busy Kaunda Road that connects Zonkiziwe and Katlehong South. They arrested the driver on the spot.
