A man has been charged after allegedly driving at more than double the legal speed limit.
The 28-year-old had been detected travelling at 84mph within a 40mph speed limit on Aberdeen’s West Tullos Road on October 16.
Road policing sergeant Stuart Lawrence described the incident as “disappointing” and vowed police would take action to stop similar behaviour.
He said: “It goes with saying that travelling at high speeds can have catastrophic consequences and is totally unacceptable.
“Driving at such speeds significantly reduces your ability to react to unexpected changes in road conditions and puts other road users at serious risk.
“Both road policing and community policing teams will continue to carry out dedicated operations to detect and deter such offences in our communities.
“It is disappointing that drivers are willing to put themselves and others at such risk, especially when convictions for road traffic offences like this can result in a fine, penalty points, disqualification or even imprisonment.
“Road safety is a priority for us and we continue to encourage drivers to take responsibility for their driving.”
The man has been reported to the Procurator Fiscal and is expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court at a later date.
