A speeding driver was caught at more than twice the limit outside a primary school in the Highlands during a police crackdown.
Officers dealt with 32 motorists for speeding offences in the second full week of the road safety initiative Operation Cedar.
One driver is to be reported to the Procurator Fiscal for travelling at 43mph in a 20mph speed limit outside a primary school on the Black Isle.
The latest police activity under Operation Cedar (Challenge Educate Detect And Reduce) has focused on the Wester Ross and Dingwall area.
As well as dealing with more than 30 speeding motorists, officers also seized two vehicles.
A further 20 drivers have also been dealt with for a variety of road traffic offences in the area, including driving without insurance, driving licence offences and vehicles being used without an MOT.
Meanwhile, 14 other drivers were arrested across the Highlands and Islands in relation to drink driving offences over the past week, with 11 of these taking place over the weekend.
Inspector Kevin Macleod said: “All of this enforcement activity across the Dingwall and Wester Ross area is a direct response to concerns raised by our communities, who regularly raise road safety as a key priority for us as a service.
“The number of drivers stopped for speeding offences is concerning, with the incident near a school of particular note.
“The 20mph limits near schools are in place for a reason and exist to keep children and others. To ignore the limit to such an extent is obviously dangerous and shows no consideration for wider public around schools.
“Drink driving remains a significant concern and we will continue to work to educate people about the dangers and take action against those who choose to disregard the safety of everyone on the roads.”
During week one of Operation Cedar, police dealt with 33 drivers, mainly in Ross and Cromarty.
Offences detected again included driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding, no insurance and also of driving while using a mobile phone.
Eighteen drivers were dealt with for speeding offences – including one driver detected travelling at 115mph in a 70 mph speed limit on the A9 on the Black Isle.
Five people were dealt with for drink driving.
