Johannesburg - Metro police arrested five motorists on Sunday for
speeding - including a Lamborghini driver doing 251km/h in Midrand.
Along with the luxury-car owner, metro police arrested the drivers of a Peugeot and a Porsche driving at more than 180km/h on the N14 in Midrand.
Inspector Edna Mamonyane said: "The Lamborghini driver was very calm, and praised metro police for the way they handled him."
The trio was taken to Muldersdrift police station and were due to appear in court on Monday.
On the N1 in Kliprivier, metro police arrested the drivers of an Audi and a Nissan Sentra, driving at 184km/h and 195km/h respectively.
On Friday, along the same stretch of freeway, three BMW drivers and a VW Jetta driver were arrested for speeding.
14 taxis unroadworthy
The three BMW drivers were clocked at speeds of more than 200km/h.
Mamonyane said: "A request will be sent to the asset forfeiture unit for the drivers' vehicles to be sold."
During a roadblock with the SAPS on the N12/N1 split on Saturday, metro police impounded 14 minibus taxis for being unroadworthy.
They issued 122 fines, arrested one drunken driver, another person for possession of dagga and one wanted suspect.
Mamonyane warned motorists to expect more such roadblocks during the festive season.
