and enforcement when necessary. Speeding continues to be a contributing factor in a significant number of serious and fatal road traffic collisions.
“The Highway Code states the stopping distance of a car travelling at 70mph is 96 metres. A driver travelling at 139mph would require an estimated 294 metres to stop – the length of about two football pitches further than a motorist travelling at the speed limit for this stretch of road.”In 2003, car dealer Jason McAllister was given five months in jail for driving at 156.7mph, also on the A90.
And in 2009, hairdresser Neil Purves pled guilty after being caught riding his Suzuki motorbike at 166mph on the A702 near West Linton, Peeblesshire.
