Police Scotland spot four men doing 128mph on North Coast 500 west of Achnasheen

FOUR men are to be reported in connection with speeding offences after their four vehicles were spotted doing 128mph on the A890 west of Achnasheen at the weekend.

The men – aged 55, 46, 35 and 22 – were spotted travelling at more than double 60mph limit in Glencarron early on Saturday afternoon.

The detection followed directly on from information received from a concerned member of the public.

Road Policing Sergeant, Chris Murray, said: “It is disappointing to see some drivers are willing to place themselves and others at risk by driving at excessive speeds and in a dangerous manner.

"We will continue to proactively enforce the speed limit while also carrying out preventative work under Operation Cedar.

"The roads of the Highlands have so much to offer for drivers and many travel great distances to enjoy them - please make sure you do so safely and at an appropriate speed.

"I would urge people to take responsibility for their own driving – if you are tempted to speed then consider what the consequences could be of your decision."

Anyone with concerns about the manner of driving can call 101 or 999 in an emergency.
