Man faces arrest for speeding at 68 mph—on a skateboard
Submitted by meekandmild on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 11:52South African skater Decio Lourenco faces the charges after Cape Town city officials say his high-speed skating actually triggered a speed camera. The speed limit in the town Lourenco was skating through is reportedly 37 mph.
“All that was needed was for one of those motorists to panic and swerve into the oncoming traffic and you have a large number of deaths, as we have already had on that road, safety spokesman Jean-Pierre Smith, told the New York Daily News. "If we don't take action against him, every other aspirant skateboarder will try it and one of them will come to a sticky end."

I'm really not concerned about traffic laws in South Africa. That's their business.

What do expect out of south
What do expect out of south africa? Its not exactly a bastion of freedom. At least I assume its cape town south africa...as opposed to some other cape town.
What's next
5 mph per hour zones and if you sprint on foot you get a speeding ticket? Awesome.
I buy gold, silver, platinum and diamonds. I sell you gold and silver closer to spot than anyone else.
