Hong Kong man caught driving Ferrari at over 140km/h had lost licence over fatal accident
Red sports car clocked travelling down highway at more than twice 70km/h speed limit, posing serious safety risk to other road users, police say
A repeat traffic offender permanently banned from driving after causing a fatal accident in Hong Kong has been arrested again after he was caught blazing his Ferrari down a highway at more than twice the 70km/h (43.5mph) speed limit.
The force said on Friday that officers from the New Territories South traffic unit intercepted the red Italian sports car on Tuen Mun Road during an anti-speeding operation on Thursday afternoon.
“The car was clocked reaching more than twice the speed limit on Tuen Mun Road near Ting Kau Bridge, posing a serious safety risk to other road users,” police said.
The driver, 46, also failed a drug test and refused to provide a blood sample, according to police.
An investigation revealed the man was driving without a licence as his permit had earlier been permanently revoked after he had caused a fatal road accident, police said.
He had also been involved in another dangerous driving case and had his licence suspended multiple times, they added.
