Police summoned the reckless driver and impounded his motorcycle.
Police said that many motorists don’t realise the dangers of speeding. Scientific studies have proved that the force of impact of a collision when driving at 220km/h is physically equivalent to a fall from the 60th floor, 200km/h is equivalent to a fall from the 50th floor and 140km/h is equivalent to a fall from the 30th floor, which significantly increase the rate of death during collision at such speeds.
