A DRIVER was clocked travelling at 120mph on a busy Fife road this week.
Fife's Road Policing Unit were carrying out speed checks on the A92 when they caught the motorist at 50mph over the 70 speed limit.
Posting on social media on Wednesday, officers reminded other drivers that "speeding can have devastating consequences", and advised them to "please slow down" and keep to the speed limits.
Two other drivers were stopped at 86mph on the same road, whilst another was registered at 83mph.
On X, the Road Policing Scotland account stated: "Fife Road Policing were carrying out speed checks on the A92 when they observed these vehicles travelling above the 70 mph speed limit.
"This included one vehicle at 120 mph!
"Speeding can have devastating consequences, please slow down."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
