02 Apr 2018

Cape Town - From the top five driving offences during this Easter holiday, to Tesla CEO Elon Musk claiming his company is bankrupt... we list the top stories for our Monday motoring wrap.

Top traffic offences

'4153 driving at a high speed, 1946 driving unlicensed vehicles,' the RTMC has listed its top five traffic offences during the 2018 Easter long weekend so far.

And of course what is the beginning of April without someone pulling an April's Fools prank?

'We are sad to report that Tesla has gone completely and totally bankrupt. So bankrupt, you can't believe it,' says Tesla CEO Elon Musk with an April fools joke posted on Twitter.

Here are our top stories for Monday...

1. 4153 speeding drivers... Top 5 SA traffic offences during Easter long weekend - RTMC

2 'Tesla goes bankrupt' - says CEO Elon Musk on April 1. Riiight...

Elon was found passed out against a Tesla Model 3, surrounded by "Teslaquilla" bottles, the tracks of dried tears still visible on his cheeks.

This is not a forward-looking statement, because, obviously, what's the point?
