“The lawbreaker never cited any reason for speeding excessively. He was detained at Olifantsfontein Police Station and charged with reckless and negligent driving,” Mokheseng said.
Five more offenders, which included a tipsy 39-year-old male driving a Mercedes Benz sedan at 192km/h, were apprehended at the same location. Other lawbreakers registered speeds of 167, 168, 172 and 189km per hour.
All suspects were charged with reckless and negligent driving, including driving while under the influence of alcohol. They were later released on R1 500 bail each and will appear in Tembisa Magistrate’s Court.
