If convicted, drivers caught doing more than 100mph can have six points added to their driving licence, or can be banned for up to eight weeks. However, in serious cases or for repeat offenders, the ban can be longer.

This week police released pictures of speeding motorcyclists who were spotted racing through the Meon Valley, on the southbound A32 at the A272 junction near West Meon at about 5.45pm on Saturday last week. The bikes numberplates were either covered or positioned in a way which meant they couldn’t be read.

Call 101 with any information.
