Man Drives 123kph Over Speed Limit in Sapporo
Yukika Wada from The Mainichi:
The man, a resident of Sapporo's Chuo Ward, was arrested on suspicion of speeding in violation of the Road Traffic Act. According to police, his recorded speed of 183 kph -- 123 kph over the limit -- was the highest speeding violation since the introduction of portable speed enforcement devices in 2019.
Police said the man was on his way home at the time, and had admitted to the allegations against him, stating, "I was going fishing the next day, so I wanted to get home quickly to sleep."
Obvious safety violation but I appreciate the honestly. Sleep is worth it.
