“Officers arrested the driver of the yellow Porsche for driving under the influence of alcohol with a reading of 0,52 which equates to more than twice the legal limit. The legal limit is 0,24mg/1000ml.”

Smith pointed out that this is the third botsing innie Kaap where a sports car was involved. 

In February, a 32-year-old doctor Ncumisa Mdlokolo was killed when she was run over by a driver in a Ferrari on Buitengracht.

Smith adds: “This is but the latest incident involving luxury sports cars in recent months. 

"The fact that the driver was arrested early in the morning and with an alcohol reading of more than double the legal limit makes this offence even more alarming. 

“The motor vehicle accident could have had serious consequences with innocent passengers sustaining injuries. 

“Our enforcement agencies will not tolerate lawlessness and will continue to arrest suspects who break the law. We all have a responsibility to contribute towards a safer road environment.”
