Speedster's R40‚000 fine is not punishment enough‚ says traffic law enforcers

A KwaZulu-Natal motorist has been fined R40‚000 for speeding at 223km/hour‚ the Road Traffic Management Corporation says.

The RTMC‚ which helps coordinate and promote improved road safety initiatives‚ would have liked a stiffer penalty for the Merc C63 driver.

"We are calling for tougher sentences for speeding and negligent drivers.

"His driving licence should have been cancelled‚" the agency said.
