Another driver has been accused of hitting 78mph while travelling through a Fife village.

Police say the motorist was pulled over in Giffordtown, near Ladybank, just after 5.40pm on Monday.

Officers say the driver was “reported for summons (to court)” on a “dangerous driving” charge after being accused of going at more than double the 40mph speed limit.
