A Maserati GranTurismo was caught speeding at 268 km/h by the AES speed camera at KM301.9 PLUS highway (north-bound) before the Kajang exit.
Several days later, the safety camera has also captured a bright red Ferrari travelling at 243 km/h on PLUS Expressways (north-bound) at KM376 near Slim River, Perak.
Probably, the two supercar drivers have officially earned themselves as the fastest speed demons ever recorded into the country's authority enforcement system.
For the record, the speed limits on PLUS Expressways near the Kajang interchange is 90 km/h while the Slim River north-bound stretch is set at 110 km/h.
When contacted, the Road Transport Department (RTD) assistant director (enforcement) Ahmad Nasir Abdul Gani has confirmed that the traffic offenders were caught unmistakably at breakneck speed by the cameras.
“We have all the details and we will dispatch the summonses soon to the car owners. Such ignorant by driving at a very high speed on public roads is regrettable,” Ahmad Nasir told Cars, Bikes & Trucks (CBT).
A road safety supporter said it was a 'miracle' no-one had been injured by the speedsters.
“I shudder to think, what if a minor collision to occur at 268 km/h or 243 km/h on a public road and imagine what would happen to other road users? This is not a racing track. It's so irresponsible. Total disrespect to other law abiding citizens on the road,” said Muhammad Sallehudin, a pro-AES group representative.
It is learned that both car owners could be hauled up before the court for retributive punishment and the drivers would stand to lose out extensive demerit points under the Kejara system as government is set to stand firm on road safety measures and stamp the authority on errant traffic lawbreakers.
However, it remains unclear to CBT of the time and date of both events whether the supercars were caught speeding during daylight or night time.
berbaloi kena saman sebab memang bawa laju. dah lebih dua kali ganda kelajuan. kita yg lebih 10 km pun kena juga. puas berjaga mata kat meter dan kaki kat minyak berkilometer, pun kena juga sebab terlebih tekan nak memotong lori yg berkelajuan 80 km. fuhh sakit bangat mata dan kaki, boleh eksiden juga.
BalasPadamKalo takmo kasi org bwk laju..jgn jual keter mahal2..jual kancil je dlm malaysia..
BalasPadamXpelik la klu maseratti n kne saman..installment kete ni pn dh bole byr 10x saman aes ni..dasar kjaan batak duit saman..
BalasPadamnape orng tak setuju,, aku bawak kereta slow tiba2 satu kereta motong laju dari sebelah kanan dan terus mencelah dihadapan aku hanya kena terdapat kereta disebelah kanan lorang yg memandu mengikut had laju semasa memotong, oleh sebab tu aku terkejut lalu menekan brek dgn kuat lalu kereta aku berpusing dan kereta dibelakangku melanggar keretaku dan terdapat beberapa kereta dibelakangku berlanggar antara satu dengan lain untuk mengelak dr melanggar aku.. kereta yang mencelah tadi sudah tidak kelihatan kerana memecut laju..lalu kami bergaduh sama sendiri dan orang dibelakang ku mengatakan aku yang bersalah kerana membrek secara tiba2.. adakan benar aku yang salah.. jika semua ikut peraturan insyallah perkara tersebut tidak akan terjadi dan dapat dielakkan.. jika perkara tersebut terjadi kepada kamu golongan menentang AES, apa lg alasan, cara , sistem atau cadangan yang boleh diberi kepada penguatkuasa apabila disaman kerana terlibat dalam kemalangan dan dikatakan sebagai penyebab... fikir-fikirkan lah , ini hanya salah satu contoh tetapi saya yakin ianya pernah terjadi... sekian
BalasPadamassalamualaikum.
