Citi Golf trapped at 180 km/h

Sixteen drivers were arrested after being caught speeding on the N1 north freeway in the Midrand area, Johannesburg metro police said on Sunday.

Spokeswoman Phindani Tebeila said the 16 arrested included two motorists in a VW Citi Golf and an Audi R8, who were caught driving at the highest speed of 180km/h and 195km/h, near the Olifantsfontein off-ramp.

All the drivers were released on bail and they are expected to appear in the Randburg Magistrate's Court on Monday to face charges of reckless and negligent driving.
