The 25-year-old driver was stopped near Nisou by traffic police at 11.15pm.

He was arrested for speeding and driving without being insured while both he and his 20-year-old co-driver were also booked for violating the overnight curfew.

The driver was later released pending his appearance in court on Friday.
