The EMPD High Speed Unit members arrested eight motorists at different locations with different speed limits in Benoni and Brakpan recently.
“The operations were conducted between 5am and 6am – the locations targeted are notorious for excessive speeding,” said EMPD spokesperson, Chief Supt Wilfred Kgasago.
“A male taxi driver (50) was arrested on Princes Avenue on this 60km/h zone stretch of road doing 96km/h.”
