A driver was caught travelling in excess of 100 miles per hour in Aberdeenshire yesterday.
Police stopped the 22-year-old driver yesterday morning after he was found travelling in excess of 100 miles per hour on the A98 near to Fraserburgh, a single carriageway road with a 60 miles per hour limit.
Sergeant Scott McKay from the Formartine Local Policing Team said: “Police Scotland has issued numerous warnings to motorists regarding speeding and the impact this can have upon a driver’s ability to control a vehicle and stop should there be a requirement.
“Whilst the majority of motorists abide by the speed limits, there continues to be a small number of individuals who make a conscious decision to break the law and put themselves and others at serious risk of harm.
He added: “The A98 is a two way undivided carriageway and is subject to a maximum speed limit of 60 miles per hour for cars.
“This does not mean that drivers must travel at 60 miles per hour and each driver is responsible for assessing the road conditions and driving at a speed which is safe and which does not put themselves or others at risk.
The 22 year old male will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal in relation to dangerous driving.
Anyone wishing to report drivers for speeding or other road traffic offences should contact Police Scotland on 101.
