Senior Constable Andy Williamson was on his way to a call in Akaroa when he clocked the speeding, 40-year-old man on the Christchurch Akaroa Rd, SH75, near Motukarara at about 5pm. Moments before he recorded him at that speed, Senior Constable Williamson said the man’s car was travelling at 172km/h. When the driver, who was from Christchurch, got out of his Volkswagen Golf, Senior Constable Williamson noticed the smell of alcohol. He recorded a breath/alcohol reading of 1025mcg/l. The legal limit is 250mcg/l. “It is absolute madness. It’s one of the single most reckless acts of driving I have experienced,” Senior Constable Williamson said. “He is risking himself and others if he was to crash at that speed, it would be horrific to everyone involved. It is suicidal.” The man was arrested and charged with driving at a dangerous speed and excess breath alcohol. When asked what his excuse for driving so recklessly, he said: “I just put my foot down.” His licence is suspended for 28 days from the incident and he had to pay for a tow truck to collect his car from the side of the road. He will appear in the Christchurch District Court on June 7.
