Hide AdA police spokesperson confirmed both were young drivers and were driving with R plates, having not long passed their tests and were therefore restricted to a maximum speed of 45 mph.
“Each driver will now have their day in court and face the potential of points and or a monetary fine, possible revocation of their licence and possibly a significant increase on their Insurance premiums.
“Young drivers are statistically a higher risk.
“Speed kills. Don’t gamble with your life or those of other road users,” said the spokesperson.
