Road policing officers in Scotland have slammed the "ridiculous" speed a driver allegedly reached while travelling on a main road earlier today.
Cops from Police Scotland 's Road Policing Unit (RPU) tweeted a picture of the alleged readout from a speed gun they said was used to pick up a driver on the A92 dual carriageway between Dundee and Arbroath.
Tagging the tweet #DundeeRP, the Road Policing Scotland account said: "Just because it's Saturday doesn't mean you should speed.
"Motorist detected at 103mph in 70mph limit on A-92 between Dundee and Arbroath today. Ridiculous speed."
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland confirmed a 30-year-old male will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal in connection with an alleged road traffic offence.
Roads police will be carrying out an insurance enforcement campaign between November 15 and 21 to catch out those who drive uninsured.
Driving without insurance is an offence liable for a fixed penalty of £300 and six points on your licence. Punishments can escalate to an unlimited fine and a driving ban if matters proceed to court.
The RPU added: "Make sure that your vehicle insurance is up to date, details are correct and that all drivers are covered appropriately.
"We target uninsured drivers daily but there is an enforcement campaign between 15th and 21st November. #OpDriveInsured."
Locals who saw the post on social media reacted with a mixture of praise and shock at both the policing efforts and the alleged speed the motorist reached.
"Well done #DundeeRP," wrote one, signing off their response with an emoji of clapping hands.
