A SPEED freak, who clocked 212km/h on the highway near Albersville, Port Shepstone, refused to stop when ordered to do so by Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI) officers on Sunday, May 18 at 11.30am.
However, the driver, Neil Joseph Selling, aged 34, did not get far, despite his attempts to evade arrest. A roadblock was set up in Park Rynie and he was subsequently arrested by RTI officers in that area.
Mr Selling, who is believed to be from Port Shepstone, appeared in court on Monday this week and the case was postponed to July 28.
Meanwhile the case of the father and son from Durban who were arrested on the N2 at Ifafa for speeding in April appeared in the Hibberdene Court on Tuesday this week.
The father, Myendran Perumal (44) was sentenced to a R20 000 fine or twelve months’ imprisonment for driving at a speed of 208km per hour. His son Yentle Perumal (23) was found guilty of speeding and was fined R12 000 or six months’ imprisonment. They were trapped on separate speed cameras on the north-bound lane by officers from Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI).
