That means if he got caught at 40kph over again he would have had to pay another R6000 and spend 12 months in jail.

Scary thing is, 160kph really isn't that fast in a modern car on the open highway.
And the really frightening part is how easily modern cars can get to 160km/h! And then we think about the bikes - 160km/h is in 2nd gear! But having said that... I want Koenigsegg brakes!!! Then it's almost OK!
