What might look to us like a foolish act by a young man who rode a go-kart on a busy road in Sydney’s southwest, has infuriated Australian police as well as the local media.
A passenger of a car following on from behind filmed the man traveling on the road before he slammed on the brakes, losing control and performing a 180-degree turn to avoid running a red light.
A NSW Police spokesman told 9News, “We need to remove that menace from the road,” while the Herald Sun posted an online news story titled “Does anybody know this imbecile?”.
Network Ten News reported that the go-kart driver could face fines of $1,258 for being unregistered, $496 for being unlicensed and $596 for being uninsured, while if a judge found that he was driving dangerously, he could also be sentenced up to nine months in jail.
