A Cape Town motorist ranked at No 3 on the top 100 list of traffic offenders spent the weekend behind bars after being arrested for 169 outstanding double warrants amounting to almost R160,000.
The alleged transgressor was nabbed along Main Road in St James on Friday, detained at Muizenberg police station and is expected to appear in the Blue Down’s magistrate’s court on Monday.“The arrest is a timely reminder of our ongoing struggle with scofflaws who simply have no regard for the law.
Beyond just the staggering value of the unpaid fines, one needs to realise that it represents transgressions like speeding, overloading and other driving offences that put lives at risk, and unnecessarily so,” said the city’s MMC for safety and security JP Smith.“As we prepare to extend the rollout of automated number plate recognition technology, I want to warn scofflaws that it’ll become increasingly more difficult to hide.
