The minister told the media on Thursday that the police is in ‘hot pursuit’ of the ‘bragging’ driver and would soon bring him to justice.
Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula has said that the Audi driver who filmed himself reaching the speed of 308km/h on a freeway in Midrand has been identified, Eyewitness News reported.
Mbalula told the media on Thursday that the police was in “hot pursuit of the driver who bragged about driving at over 300km/h” and would soon bring him to justice.
In a tweet by the Road Traffic Management Corporation, the organization confirmed that the driver had been identified, further stating that he should hand himself over to the traffic authorities or they would show up on his doorstep in Midrand.
The clip was reportedly filmed late on Tuesday night, with the driver filming his dashboard, so he was even driving with only one hand fully on the steering wheel.
The dashboard speed seems to peak at 308km/h, but then briefly appears to touch 309km/h.
The car’s electronic speed limiter seems to have been bypassed.
Although the dash seems to identify the vehicle as an Audi TT S, the only way such a model could reach this speed is if it was chipped, tuned or otherwise modified.
