Two drivers were caught speeding at almost 100mph as 25 speed-related offences were detected on a popular tourist route in the Highlands over the weekend.
Road policing officers and safety camera staff carried out enforcement between Friday, April 14 and Sunday, April 16 on the North Coast 500 route.
One driver was clocked travelling at 97mph within a 60mph limit on the A832 near Achnasheen, and another at 95mph on a 70mph stretch of the A9 near Tore.
A driver was also recorded travelling at 91mph near Achnasheen.
Police said two others were detected driving at 89mph and a third at 83mph on a 60mph section of the A9 near Helmsdale.
Police sergeant Calum MacAulay of the road policing unit said: “Travelling above the speed limit allows each driver less time to react to hazards that appear on the road. That includes on roads which drivers know well.
“A crash involving speed affects more than just you and your car – it also impacts your family, the victim’s family, the emergency services and those who witness it.”
