A PIETERMARITZBURG man – dubbed by the Road Traffic Inspectorate the “Silliest Driver of the Year” – appeared briefly in the Camperdown Magistrate’s Court outside Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal, SABC radio news reported on Monday. Kennedy Msimang was not asked to plead on two counts of speeding and two of drunk driving. Msimang was apparently trapped while driving a BMW cabriolet at 168 kilometres an hour in mid-December. A week later, he was again trapped on the same stretch of road, this time apparently speeding at 179 kilometres an hour. The unlucky Msimang was allegedly in another BMW bearing the same vehicle registration plate as the cabriolet. Msimang’s drivers licence has been suspended and he was released on R7 000 bail. He will reappear in court on January 21. – Sapa
