ROADS: DRAG RACERS AND SPEEDSTERS CAUSING HAVOC
‘No autobhan’ in Cape Town RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj
“W
e don’t have an autobahn in Cape Town.” This was the message from Helen Carstens, chairperson of subcouncil 3, in her chairperson’s report speech on Thursday last week, where she referred to illegal drag racers and speedsters causing havoc on the roads of Cape Town. Carstens expressed her dismay at the level of lawlessness on Cape Town’s roads. “The Ghost Squad regularly attends to
complaints of illegal street racing on Plattekloof Road in the Bothasig, Plattekloof and Welgelegen area. This area has been receiving numerous complaints over the last few months,” Carstens said during her speech. She said five drivers were arrested recently for reckless driving, including two prominent dragsters who form part of a street racing group on the N1 at Century City. “Three officers were injured on duty and one Ghost Squad patrol vehicle written off,” Carstens said. The squad held operations on Wednesday 3, Thursday 4 and Wednesday 10 October.

“The three evening operations centred around this location as the same group of dragsters move from location to location, all within the Milnerton, Bothasig and Plattekloof area. “A total of four arrests were made for reckless driving and three arrests for drunken driving, together with numerous other offences, totalling 78.” The total contraventions issued on 3 October were 229, with 213 speeding tickets issued on Koeberg Road alone, she said.

Plattekloof Road and 159km/h on Vryburger Road. “Traffic Services are constantly requested to assist in our wards where disregard for stop streets and speeding down residential roads is becoming a common occurrence. “It should be noted that we do not have an autobahn in Cape Town and also that Killarney International Raceway is available for everyday racing, and that this is the option that should be used instead of our suburban roadways,” Carstens remarked.
