Motorist clocks 322km/h on a busy Johannesburg highway
Updated | By East Coast Radio
A video of a motorist driving at an insanely high speed has prompted a wave of conversation about road safety in South Africa.
A video has been doing the rounds showing one very stupid motorist who somehow managed to clock 322km/h on a busy highway in Johannesburg.
The original clip was posted by anti-crime activist Yusuf Abramjee on Twitter. He captioned it: "VIDEO as received: R21 JHB. This madness must be stopped! @MbalulaFikile @GP_CommSafety @TrafficRTMC."
In the video, you see the motorist picking up speed, even going head-to-head with a motorbike who was also travelling at high speed.
News24, who reported on the incident, didn't specify when exactly the video was shot or what car the driver used, but what we can see for sure is reckless driving that could have possibly endangered the lives of motorists.
It is said that the local police department spoke up and condemned the incident, saying that they will not tolerate such behaviour on the roads.
Social media users called for the driver to be found, locked up, and even for the driver's licence to be revoked.
One thing we can agree on is that driving at such high speeds like this is simply not cool - EVER!
