A 32-year-old doctor rushing to work in her Mercedes-Benz was arrested for speeding by the Ekurhuleni Metro Police (EMPD) following a high-speed chase. | MaliDayimani

The Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department has defended its Speed Enforcement Team after they arrested a doctor, despite her telling them she was rushing to work.The EMPD said the doctor's vehicle did not display a portable flashing device signalling that she was a doctor-on-call.

She was one of three motorists caught by Speed Enforcement Unit members for driving over the stipulated speed limit in Alberton. "The medical doctor, citing that she was late for work, was immediately handcuffed and marched to Alberton police station," said EMPD spokesperson Kobeli Mokheseng. "Secondly, doctors on call will have either a red or amber portable flashing light. When we stopped that lady, there was none of the above.
