Many people do not adhere to speed limits, whether it's on the highways or city streets.
Speeding has become a norm that has led to numerous accidents. In several instances, the accidents become hit-and-run cases with police unable to find the culprits.
So did the driver of a four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle turn himself in after his speeding video went viral?
