‘Reckless’ driver hit 141mph on A92 in Fife

- By HILARY DUNCANSON

A motorist has been clocked doing more than twice the 70mph speed limit on a dual carriagewa­y in Fife.

The driver behind the wheel of a red Volkswagen was recorded travelling at 141mph on the eastbound side of the A92 near Cowdenbeat­h on Sunday morning.

Three other drivers were also clocked at speeds of 95mph, 98mph and 109mph in a one-hour period between 8:30am and 9:30am that day, the East Safety Camera Unit revealed.

The drivers will be reported to the procurator fiscal.

Unit manager Andy Jones said: “This is totally unacceptab­le and reckless conduct. There is absolutely no excuse for ignoring the speed limit with such blatant disregard for road users.”
