A motorcyclist was caught going over 90mph on an East Lothian road.
The biker was detected by police around 3.55pm on Sunday (12 May) going 93mph on A198, Dirleton, where there is a 60mph speed limit.
The registered keeper of the motorcycle will receive a Notice of Intended Prosecution and must identify the driver to the authorities.
Police Scotland’s East Safety Camera Unit began targeting speeders on the A198 after four collisions, which resulted in one fatality.
Chief Inspector Neil Mitchell, Local Area Commander for East Lothian said: “Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable on our roads.
“If they travel over the speed limit, they put themselves and other road users in danger. This road has a history of collisions, which were caused by inappropriate speed. We therefore encourage all motorists to adhere to the speed limits to make this route safer for everyone”

Andy Jones, East Safety Camera Unit Manager, said: “We had hoped that the presence of the camera van would encourage drivers to keep to the speed limit on this route. During the summer months this route will be particularly popular with motorcyclists.
“We urge bikers to think of their safety and that of other motorists and travel at an appropriate speed within the limit."
