Robin Carlisle, the Minister for Transport and Public Works in the Western Cape has said three bikers caught speeding at 181 km/h, 201 km/h and 223 km/h on the N1 outside Paarl on Sunday afternoon ‘should lose their licences and serve a jail term.’
The fastest of the three, who was driving at 223 km/h, was caught with his 14-year old daughter on the back of the bike.
‘The guy that was travelling at 223 km/h with his 14-year old daughter on the back of his bike should never be allowed to drive anything other than a wheelbarrow for the rest of his natural life.
‘He is unfit to operate a bicycle, motorcycle, motor car, or anything else allowed on our roads.
‘And I just hope that he is not going to get off with a light fine, like Dan Kgothule, the Free State MEC for Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, who was handed a measly R20 000 fine, or 12 months in prison for going 235 km/h in his car on the N1 outside Bloemfontein.’
‘Kgothule’s licence was not even revoked.
‘All three of these bikers should lose their licences and serve a jail term.’
