New driver 'clocked doing 125mph'
A teenager was caught speeding at 125mph less than two weeks after he passed
his driving test, police have revealed.
There are kids in motorsport who've done that before they're old enough
to have a licence.
A 21-year-old male driver was also detected travelling at 90mph on a 40mph
road, and then at nearly 120mph on a 70mph stretch.
Chf Insp Tom Forrester described the speeds as "madness".
'Very dangerous'
The motorists in question were charged with dangerous driving.
Chf Insp Forrester, head of roads policing for Grampian Police, said:
"Travelling at these speeds on our public roads in good weather conditions
is very, very dangerous.
"To do it during the extremely poor weather we experienced over the weekend
is simply madness.
Speed doesn't kill.

If the road, car, traffic, traffic, weather and so on allow, that
speed is fine. At other times, 20mph in a 30 area is too fast.
I hate dummys who place some magic quality in "inkstains that have
dried upon some line."
