A man arrested for speeding on the N1 to Pretoria pleaded guilty to reckless and negligent driving in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Monday.

Adam Hack, 20, was fined R1,500 for driving at 188km/h, Gauteng traffic police spokeswoman Busaphi Nxumalo said.

Hack and his father David, 55, were arrested on Sunday for speeding in their Porsche GT3s.

David was reportedly driving at 234km/h, ahead of Adam.

David would appear in the same court on Tuesday facing charges of reckless and negligent driving, with an alternative charge of exceeding the general speed limit of 120km/h.

  • The South African swimming team for the London Olympic Games is in camp in Monaco where they are being hosted by Princess Charlene of Monaco, an ex-South Africa Olympic swimmer.

There is an incessant need for speed in this land. But then again there are traffic officers who will do you from behind. Damn, traffic wardens, I need my speed.
