194km/h - and teen faces court
Lucia Swart and Sapa , Beeld
Johannesburg - A 16-year-old East Rand boy, who doesn't have even a learner's licence, has been caught riding a Suzuki motorcycle at 194km/h on the N3 highway.
He is due to appear soon in Boksburg magistrate's court.
Kobeli Mokheseng of Ekurhuleni metro police said: "It's still unclear why he was travelling at such a speed."
Even if the boy had a licence, it would have been valid only for a 125cc motorbike, which normally can't reach such speeds.
The boy was not the only one caught speeding at the weekend - 16 others were also caught in Operation Velocity.
Mokheseng said 12 had been arrested on Friday: "They were travelling between 122km/h and 169km/h in a 60km/h zone."
Five others, excluding the boy, were arrested on the N3.
They were travelling between 181km/h and 196km/h in a 120km/h zone.

He would be in bigger trouble if he did that in a rental car
