But seeing others speeding is also among local motorists’ top gripes, and they say there are dozens of hotspots for the crime.

We took to Facebook to ask readers to tell us what they thought were Portsmouth’s worst roads for speeding – and these are the results.

From residential to main routes, we’ve crunched the numbers and counted up their top suggestions to give a comprehensive assessment of their thoughts.

The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and three penalty points added to a driver’s licence.

Drivers can also be disqualified if they gain 12 or more penalty points within three years.
