iStockPolice in Edinburgh are investigating after a driver filmed themselves speeding at over 80mph in a 20mph zone.
Officers said they are aware of a video on social media showing the driver of a Honda Civic speeding at 82mph and overtaking numerous vehicles into oncoming traffic.
The video, taken in the Saughton Road North area, was uploaded on January 6, and enquiries to trace the vehicle and identify the driver are ongoing.
Constable Alexander Marshall, from the Edinburgh Road Policing Unit, said: “This was an extremely irresponsible and reckless act, not only to be speeding at over 80mph in a 20mph zone, but to also use a mobile phone filming yourself while doing so.
“Putting the public at risk in such a manner will not be tolerated.
“We are asking for anyone who may have witnessed the Honda Civic in question, or can help identify the driver, to please contact police on 101, quoting incident 0555 of January 14, 2025.
“Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, if you wish to remain anonymous.”
