New figures compiled by LV following freedom of information requests to police forces have revealed that last year saw five drivers who were caught while travelling at over twice the maximum speed limit.

The figures also identified which roads in the country were most prone to speeding and reported one instance of a man stopped after travelling at a speed of 152mph on his motor bike on the A27 in Sussex. Two cars were stopped on the A90 in Scotland while speeding at 149mph and 141mph respectively.

According to the statistics it is straight stretches of A roads which are most at risk of this sort of driving rather than motorways with seven of the ten worst speeding cases being committed on these roads. Police also reported that the number of speeding offences in 2011 was up six percent on the previous year.

LV managing director John O’Roarke said there was a world of difference between drivers who stray a few miles over the limit and those who drive dangerously at high speeds. Edmund King, AA president added that the data reflected the fact, not that there are dangerous roads, but reckless drivers.

As executors of my Mum’s estate we needed to apply for Probate. We met with Monika Volsing to discuss Probate and she talked us through the process and was very friendly and helpful. Any questions we had were always answered promptly. The whole process was very quick and we cannot fault anything.

I have found Winston’s excellent in dealing with our conveyance. This firm totally deserve 5 stars and industry awards received. They are professional, friendly and respond to all docs in an extremely straightforward way. Their pricing is also extremely reasonable. I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm and would use them again should the need arise. I would like to give a special mention to The legal representative Michelle Ayres, who dealt with the sale of mum’s house in an extremely efficient and safe manner.

Winston Solicitors helped me with the purchase of my first ever property. I worked directly with Leasa Foster and Julie Smith. From start to finish they were very efficient and offered detailed information for each step of the way. As a first-time buyer, I wasn’t familiar with the process or what to expect, so having everything explained clearly and receiving detailed guidance at every stage was very helpful. Whenever I had a question or needed to discuss something, there was always someone available to assist, even when Leasa was not there. I always felt well supported and guided throughout the process, which made everything feel straightforward and ensured the purchase went as smoothly as possible. I’m very happy that I chose Winston Solicitors and would highly recommend them.
