Speeding drivers

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.

Client feedback

Both Samantha and Michelle at Winstons Solicitors have been brilliant keeping us informed with the selling and buying of our houses. If there were any problems they explained what was happening and also put our minds at rest.... as moving is stressful enough.will definitley use again in the future as we were impressed with the company and service.

Leasa was very helpful throughout our (very) protracted sale. She kept us updated and was always ready with advice on our rather unusual situation (we were selling our rental house to our tenant). Definitely recommended

Review for Wendy – Family Law Services at Winston’s Solicitors, LeedsI recently had the pleasure of working with Wendy from Winston’s Solicitors in Leeds on a family law matter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our first consultation, Wendy was incredibly professional, empathetic, and thorough in her approach. She took the time to fully understand my situation, providing clear and concise advice at every step of the process.Throughout the entire case, Wendy was always available to answer any questions I had, and she made sure I felt supported and informed. Her knowledge of family law is exceptional, and I felt confident in her ability to handle my case. She was transparent about all costs, keeping me informed of any developments along the way.What truly stood out to me was her attention to detail and her ability to navigate what was a very emotionally charged situation with sensitivity and care. Wendy was not only a skilled professional but also genuinely understanding of the emotional impact of my case, which made a huge difference during a stressful time.Thanks to Wendy’s hard work and dedication, I was able to reach a favorable outcome, and I am incredibly grateful for her support. If you are looking for a compassionate and experienced family law solicitor, I would wholeheartedly recommend Wendy at Winston’s Solicitors.
