Driver clocked at 119mph on rural Aberdeenshire road
Police have caught a driver speeding at almost twice the limit on an Aberdeenshire road
Police in Aberdeenshire have caught a driver speeding at 119mph on a rural road.
The car was tracked at almost double the limit on the A920 between Pitmedden and Ellon.
Officers say the 32-year-old male driver has been charged.
They've warned that such speeds mean the risk of fatal injuries are high in the event of a crash.
Constable Addy, of the North East Road Policing Unit said, "There is no excuse for this manner of driving and it is really disappointing to be detecting speeds of this nature on our roads.
"It goes without saying that the likelihood of serious or fatal injuries if involved in a collision at these speeds are incredibly high and the impact will not only be on the driver but all those involved, including family and friends.
"Police Scotland are committed to taking action against those who selfishly put others at risk by driving at these speeds and we will continue to show a presence on our roads to deter these offences."
