Three-figure speeders have been snared on the A90 near the blackspot Laurencekirk junction.
The two drivers were caught at over 100 miles per hour on the Dundee to Aberdeen dual carriageway during a weekend of action involving Aberdeenshire road policing officers which saw more than 110 vehicles stopped.
The shocking figures emerged as support grows for a crowdfunding bid launched by Laurencekirk flyover campaigners in a community show of support for the long-awaited crossing.
The Mearns officers were working with Moray colleagues as part of Operation CEDAR (Challenge, Educate, Detect and Reduce), an ongoing operation to encourage drivers to take more responsibility on the region’s roads. Over the weekend officers were stationed on a number of main routes, including the A90, and a total of 115 drivers were stopped, with 32 charged and reported to the procurator fiscal.
As well as the 100mph Laurencekirk offences, one north east driver was clocked at 127mph near Inverurie.
In all, 55 drivers were warned or reported for a variety of offences, including using a mobile phone, lack of insurance or careless driving.
A further six men were also charged for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Inspector Ewan Innes of the Aberdeenshire and Moray Road Policing Unit said: “We are now finding ourselves reporting on a weekly basis on the minority of drivers throughout the north east who continue to drive in a manner that shows utter disregard for the safety of others or themselves.
“It is disappointing to find that drivers of all ages are still willing to break the law with no thought to the possible long term consequences of their actions.
“As such, the message to these motorists is simple; if you continue to drive in this selfish manner, we will continue to increase our patrols on these and other known collision routes in order to detect and report you.”
Aberdeenshire and Moray area commander Chief Superintendent Campbell Thomson said: “Statistics such as these are extremely disappointing and show the absolute requirement for us to run initiatives such as Operation CEDAR.
“We urge all motorists to think about their actions while on the road, as driving at such speeds can have devastating consequences.”
The clampdown comes as Laurencekirk junction safety campaigners continue to gather support for a £5,000 crowdfunding bid to show community support for the building of the a long-awaited flyover at the danger A90 crossing with the A937.
More than £1,300 poured into the online page within days of it going live.
