Six drivers were arrested for speeding on the N1 north near Roodepoort on Sunday, said Johannesburg metro police.

Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said police were trapping offenders at the 14th Avenue offramp between 6am and 4pm.

"The fastest speed recorded was 194 km/h by the rider of a Honda motorbike," Minnaar said.

The motorists were detained at Honeydew police station and would appear in the Roodepoort Magistrate's...read more here: Drunk, speeding drivers arrested
 
Why do they do that at that time of the day, surely it would be better to do it during 12am - 6 am when people are usually driving home drunk from their nightly adventures

Simon, Simon cops have to sleep as well ;)
 
Good to see that bikers are getting pulled over too.

And I agree, there should be more activity on weekends from 11pm onwards.
 
No bugger off... A pissed off copper having to work at night, WILL pull you over and cause kak for you even if you've had one drink...

There's a difference between driving drunk and driving over the limit... although there's only one way to measure this...
 
One drink is one too many when you're driving late at night ..... that one drink coupled with the fact that you're sleepy is like drinking a bunch. Same effect. I wish every person that has even just one drink would get pulled over and harassed way more often.
 
Fully, I could have sex with Beer it's that good ....... but, if we're gonna have a dop, we must not drive, finish en klaar. Dos over or get a designated driver, the behavioral change starts with each of us as an individual :)

This right here ^
 
I just wish we had safe and reliable public transport for 11pm - 3am over weekends (to and from the places) , then i'd be much more likely to change my behaviour. I was in Amsterdam a month ago and we drank like fish every night all over the city (and outside the city) , we could walk, bus, train and even cycle our way home every single time without incident. Hell a few times it was quite a sobering walk. If i could do that here, i would never go out for drinks with a car.

As it is, cabs cost like R12.50 p/km and always charge a "call out" fee on top of that . Then you still have to wonder what happens to your car if you arrived with one. Companies like GoodFellas who drive your car home, require even more money from you and limits your options as well. It's rare that i go to one single place etc.

This, so much this! I nearly got killed by a drunk driver a while ago. I refuse to drink and drive, I will go out with friends happily if we have a DD. Luckily one of our friends never drink, so that is a bonus.

A massive plus one on this post. Get it right. Touch a drink and you cannot drive. If you know you're going to drink, make alternate arrangements to get home. Simple as that. ;)
 
if we go our somewhere and have a few drink i usually tell my wife she is the designated driver for the night and i hand her the keys :)

With me it's the opposite. Almost always I teetotal and drive. Quite comfortable with coke and/or coffee :)
