A motorcyclist has been caught allegedly driving at 111mph on a rural road during a police crackdown on speeding during the Bank Holiday.
The rider was pulled over on the A96 between Inverurie and Aberdeen yesterday as part of ongoing checks by Police Scotland officers carrying out Operation CEDaR.
The 40-year-old motorcyclist has been charged and will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal.
A number of other road users were stopped during CEDaR, which stands for Challenge Educate Detect and Reduce.
Four males, aged 19, 33, 35 and 54 were also pulled over for speeding offences and will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal.
A number of other motorists were also dealt with in relation to careless driving and mobile phone offences.
Roads policing Sergeant Steve Manson said: "Speeding can have devastating consequences and it goes without saying that being involved in a collision at high speed is highly likely to result in serious injury or a fatality.
"We are committed to keeping people safe and we would encourage all motorists to think about their actions whilst on the road and drive in a responsible manner.
"Anyone who has any concerns can report them to Police Scotland on 101."
