A 19-year-old male was apprehended by highway police traveling 151 KPH (90 MPH) on a northern roadway. He was on Route 70, near Moshav Bat Shlomo in an area with a maximum speed of 90 KPH (55 MPH). He managed to get away from police but the vehicle in pursuit realized the driver shut off his headlights and headed for Kvish 6 southbound.
He was then apprehended again traveling on Kvish 6, in a truck, this time clocked at 173 KPH (103.8 MPH) in an areas with a maximum speed limit of 110 KPH (66 MPH).
When the young driver, who was later determined to be under the influence of drugs, realized two police cars were following him, he made a U-turn and continued on Kvish 6 driving against the stream of traffic.
The driver was still in his probationary period as a new driver and he failed the breathalyzer exam. He was taken to a hospital for a blood test and it was learned that he was under the influence of an illegal substance. His license was suspended for 60 days and his vehicle impounded. He was brought before a remand court.

How about revoking his license permanently?
60 days!?!?
This guy should never get behind the wheel of a car again for the rest of his life!
That’s exactly the reason why those horrific accidents don’t come to a end and kills so many jews Hashem Yerachim With only 60 days (not im prison, only the license suspended) for such a dangerous driving no wonder we’ll hear another few of those incidents in future.
The officer has the ability to suspend the license only for 60 days, the court will do the rest.
What I would like to know is: was the driver a decendant of Yishmoel or of Yitzchok
I think the punishment should be that he has to drive for 60 days throughout the Arab roads and hopefully he will be successful there
