Police have highlighted the dangers of speeding after clocking an R driver travelling at 105mph.

The speed was 60mph over the limit for an R driver.

PSNI Road Policing Interceptors from Maydown made the detection on the Drumcroon Road outside Coleraine.

Posting an image of the speed detection on social media, a police spokesperson warned: “Young, new drivers are among our most vulnerable road users.”

The post prompted a large number of comments, mostly in favour of the police action.

One person said: “Lucky to be caught by the police. Imagine getting caught by hitting a pedestrian or another vehicle.”

Another added: “Shameful driving by R drivers all over the country. Courts should send them to clean out sewers once a month for 12 months with a heavy ban and £500 fine it would be interesting to see how many would do it again.”
