JOHANNESBURG – The Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) has condemned the actions of a motorist who was driving at excessive speeds on what is believed to be the N1 highway in Gauteng.

In a video which has gone viral on social media, the motorist is seen clocking just over 300km/h on the highway.

The JMPD’s Wayne Minnaar said they viewed the actions of the driver in a very serious light.

“The motorist was in the freeway in Johannesburg and there’s a possibility that he or she will receive a notice through the post because speed cameras are operating on different roads on a 24-hour basis. If he or she fails to appear in court, then there will be a warrant of arrest.”

It’s not clear when the incident took place.
