At least four drivers who were found speeding excessively during the festive season were nabbed between December 21 and 22.
This comes after a festive-season operation which was conducted by the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) Speed and Drug Enforcement Units.
In these operations, a 34-year-old man driving a white BMW sedan was detained for driving at 164km/h instead of 120km/h in Dinwiddie on December 21.
He had been on the N3 freeway south direction between Grey avenue on-ramp and Heidelberg off-ramp.
On the same day, three motorists, who sped on Hennie Alberts road, were stopped and apprehended for failing to comply with the 60km/h speed limit.
At 9.40am, a 30-year-old man, driving a Fiat Uno Turbo, was also arrested for clocking 144km/h on that stretch of road.
Kobeli Mokheseng, EMPD spokesperson, said: “Among the arrested male drivers, there was a 30-year-old female driving a silver KIA Rio. She reported that she was late for an appointment when stopped for registering 111km/h.”
The last person nabbed was a 48-year-old driver in a silver Range Rover SUV who was taken in for doing 102km/h.
All four speedsters were taken to the Alberton police station. They face charges of reckless and negligent driving.
