A biker was caught doing 142mph along a road in the Highlands as police crackdown on speeding.

Police Scotland said they caught one car doing 90mph on the B817 near Ballachraggan over the weekend.

Three motorcycles were recording doing speeds of 117mph, 139mph, and 142mph along the same road.

Three Porsche drivers were also caught speeding at 99mph on the A890 near Ledgowan.

Officers said the drivers had chosen to “disregard their own safety and others”.

A spokesperson for the force said: “Driving or riding at these speeds drastically reduces reaction time.

“Excessive speed is one of the five most prevalent causation factors in serious and fatal collisions.

“All of these drivers now face serious penalties. We remain committed to improving road safety across the Highlands and Islands.”
