Article: Speeding with no rear number plates

Three motorcyclists and five motorists were arrested for allegedly speeding on the N1-south highway near the Maraisburg off-ramp on Sunday, Johannesburg Metro police said.

The three motor cyclists had no rear registration number plates to avoid being captured by cameras, said Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar.
 
I would struggle to achieve illegal speeds in my 1997 Toyota Corolla.

As a matter of fact I would make an accident at sub-20km/h speeds long before I would at any higher speeds.

My only 2 previous accidents were with a knee-high parking pole (which ****ed my left front AND back door) and a sapling tree (which totally ****ed-up my front-right fender panel :mad: as I reversed).

Fortunately my 2 above mentioned accidents were survived in my old 1993 Nissan Sentra 140GL (I loved that car more than I do my current one).

I miss that old white Nissan. :(

My brother inherited that car and he totally ****ed it up before buying himself a fancy bakkie.

Last weekend was on the N1 heading north to fourways - i was overtaken by at 5 cars with no plates - all speeding.

Common these days.
 
+1 to these traffic officers!

They should also fine the other offenders who are without number plates that aren't speeding, as well as other cars that aren't road worthy!

And people travelling below the speed limit. Tired of those road hogs.
 
Everyone knows you don't speed on weekends. You speed at 5 in the afternoon when they won't catch you in traffic. >:D

Good luck with achieving any speed higher than 50km/h on the N1 at 5 in the afternoon.

I ride a motorcycle. ;)

(also, pretty obviously poking at the guys who drive hella recklessly in the afternoons and can't seem to moderate their lead feet)

After work it takes me about 3 minutes to get home.

In the mornings we have rush hour then it takes me about 5 minutes to get to work.
