If you’ve been nailed recently for speeding, in light of the Department of Transport’s drive to crack down hard on road traffic violations, you may spare a thought for Brian Ely, a 32-year old accountant from Johannesburg. Brian has just been fined R44 000 for travelling at 206km/h in a 120km/h zone on his motorbike. Very dangerous. The speed and the fine.
Brian was slapped with the massive penalty by the Krugersdorp Magistrate’s Court, following his arrest earlier today on the N14 between Muldersdrift and Zwartkops. He was riding a Kawasaki super bike.
He was found guilty of reckless driving and will have to pay handsomely for his crime over the next few months, although he’s managed to reduce his fine to R22 000.
