Footage captured from two angles shows a woman riding a Ducati motorcycle, racing a Porsche sports car at speeds exceeding 200 km/h on the G15 Shenhai Expressway in Guangdong province, Trung Quoc. The woman repeatedly let go of the handlebars with one hand to use her phone, while occupants of the car cheered continuously and filmed their speedometer.
Data from the video suggests the incident occurred on 23/8. This section of the G15 Shenhai Expressway has a maximum speed limit of 120 km/h, but the speedometers of both vehicles steadily increased, reaching over 220 km/h.
Many observers have condemned this behavior as a serious legal violation, likening the self-recorded video to "self-incrimination". However, the video intentionally obscured the license plates of both vehicles, preventing authorities from immediately verifying the identities of the drivers.
On 26/8, Huizhou traffic police in Guangdong province issued a statement, asserting that driving at speeds over 200 km/h constitutes a serious breach of traffic safety regulations and indicates the crime of "dangerous driving". Authorities are collaborating to pinpoint the exact location of the incident to ensure strict legal enforcement.
In Trung Quoc, reckless driving and speeding on expressways can lead to criminal prosecution, not just administrative penalties. A precedent was set when a group of 6 individuals in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, received one to two-month prison sentences, license revocations, and fines for similar offenses, having filmed themselves racing on an expressway to attract online views.
