Boy, 16, crashes dad’s GTI after doing nearly triple the speed limit
The accused can’t be identified because he’s a minor, but that can’t save him from an angry father.
A 16-year-old boy who was arrested by Gauteng traffic police on Tuesday
for driving at 168km/h in a 60km/h zone also crashed his dad’s car.
The minor was caught speeding on the R55 near Laudium, the police confirmed in a statement.

Provincial community safety spokesperson Ofentse Morwane said:
“Preliminary reports indicate that the boy stole his father’s VW Golf
GTI and used it without permission. Upon noticing the high-speeding car,
the officers activated blue lights and sirens and tried to stop the
car.”
When the youngster and his passenger allegedly tried to make a run for
it, he collided with a barrier near a construction site. He was taken to
the Erasmia Police Station and his father was called.
He faces charges of reckless and negligent driving, exceeding the speed
limit, driving without a licence and defeating the ends of justice.
