Man bust driving at 203km/h
A 48-year-old man in a Golf 7 TSI was arrested by Gauteng traffic police at the weekend after being clocked travelling at 203km/h in a 120km/h zone on the N4 West in the direction of Rustenburg.
He was formally charged for reckless driving at Akasia police station‚ the department of community safety said. “At the time of his release the bail was not determined as yet. He is expected to appear at the Pretoria North magistrate’s court on Monday [today].” MEC Sizakele Nkosi-Malobane said she was concerned about the number of reckless and negligent driving incidents on the province’s roads. “Most fatal crashes are as a result of this unwarranted conduct by our drivers. Statistics indicate that most accidents are caused by motorists driving on excessive speed.
“I call upon our law enforcement agencies to continue to deal decisively with those who do not adhere to the rules of the road.” –
