East Lothian crime: Police catch driver going double the speed limit on the A1 near Queen Margaret University

Officers caught a motorist who was driving double the speed limit in East Lothian at the weekend.

On Sunday, road policing officers from Dunbar stopped the driver, who was going 80mph within roadworks on the A1 near to Queen Margaret University – an area which currently has a 40mph temporary speed limit.

The driver has been reported to the Procurator Fiscal.

In a social media post, police urged motorists to “slow down”, and wrote: “Roadworks have reduced limits to ensure the safety of everyone.”
