Two KwaZulu-Natal taxi drivers have been arrested for speeding
Department of transport spokesman Logan Maistry said on Sunday one of the drivers was caught driving at 151 kilometres an hour and the other at 141km/h.
“Both drivers were arrested on Saturday near the Tongaat River Bridge. The maximum permissible speed for a mini-bus taxi is 100 kilometres an hour,” he said.
Both men would appear in court on Monday, he added.
Maistry said police arrested 8507 motorists in January as part of the ongoing million-a-month vehicle check instituted by transport minister Sibusiso Ndebele. More than half the arrests were for outstanding warrants of arrest.
There were 1762 arrests for drinking and driving and the rest were for, among other things, excessive speeding, overloading, false documentation and reckless and negligent driving. - Sapa

@Roy ; it IS news because taxi drivers are considered to be above the law. Have you never seen how they ALL drive through red lights , even in front of a metro cop car, and NOTHING is done about it.
