Bloemfontein - A Gauteng speed freak had his come-uppance in the Free State while travelling at more than double the speed limit on the N3 in his luxury car.
Shortly after being caught in a speed trap for allegedly doing 247.9km/h in a 120km/h zone, he was released on R1 000 bail. He was expected to appear in court on Tuesday.
The traffic department said on Monday the Sandton businessman was travelling in his Prosche 911 near Warden when he was recorded by special camera equipment about 17:10 as allegedly doing 247.9km/h.
