The EMPD High Speed Unit\u2019s operation, on Sunday morning, netted four drivers who ended up behind bars after being caught allegedly doing speeds in excess of 160km\/h.<\/p>\n
The drivers were nabbed on the N3 south highway, near the Rand Airport exit, in an operation which was conducted between 5am and 10am.<\/p>
\u201cA 42-year-old female driver in a silver Kia Sportage, clocked at 168km\/h, advanced the reason that she was late for a church service and was arrested at 7.40am.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe second culprit was a 38-year-old male driving a blue Golf GTi, who registered 164km\/h on this 120km\/h stretch of the freeway.<\/p>
\u201cThe remainder of the arrestees were nabbed when each was clocked at 161km\/h, claiming lateness for a cycle race meeting and a church service,\u201d said Lieut-Col Wilfred Kgasago, spokesman for the EMPD.<\/p>\n
All four of the arrested drivers were charged with reckless and negligent driving at the Germiston Police Station.<\/p>\n
They were later released after posting bail of R1 000 each.<\/p>\n
They are expected to appear in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court soon.<\/p>\n
