  • Terrifying Video Shows Jozi Driver Hitting 322km/h, Racing Motorcycle Down R21

    On South African roads, speed often kills.

    Take for example the recent death of Andrew Turnbull, driving on the R72 near Port Alfred in the direction of Kenton-On-Sea, who was filmed hitting 260km/h in the moments before his fatal crash, which also claimed two other lives.

    One of those was 87-year-old grandmother Beulah Booysen, who was returning from a Port Alfred family visit to her retirement home in Kenton-on-Sea, and just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    That’s why a video like this one below is so disturbing, and has caused a huge stir on social media. News24 reports:

    The clip shows a motorist picking up from 179km/h driving towards OR Tambo International Airport when a motorbike, also seemingly speeding, starts approaching the vehicle.

    It is unclear when the video was taken but the time on the screen displaying the speed shows 16:08. A voice from someone inside the vehicle is heard instructing the driver in Afrikaans to allow the motorbike to ride past and then to catch up.

    “Laat hom gaan, laat hom gaan, dan gaan haal jy hom” (let him go, let him go, then go after him) the man says to the driver.

    If you watch right through to the end, you’ll see the speedometer tick past 300km/h, peaking at 322km/h:

    It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt.

    Rather predictably, some South Africans thought it was harmless fun:

    Some tweeps were impressed with the speedster, stating that the vehicle was indeed travelling at high speed if it managed to overtake a speeding motorbike.

    “I want that car, can someone please tell me what car is that” and “This video is lit though” were some of the responses from what seemed to be impressed users…

    Meanwhile, the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) has condemned the act, saying the slightest mistake could have led to a fatal accident.

    Yup, that’s the correct answer.

    If you want to hit such high speeds, have the decency to head to Kyalami and don’t endanger the lives of other road users.
