More than two thousand drivers were caught doing over a hundred miles an hour on the UK鈥檚 roads last year. The figures come from a Freedom of Information request to all 45 police forces in the UK by 5 live. 42 of them responded.

Richard from southwest England was caught doing 103 miles per hour.

He admitted he had self-inflicted pressure on him to get 鈥渟omeone to the airport on time鈥�.

He said although road conditions were 鈥減retty much perfect鈥� at the time, he does use cruise control to 鈥渕onitor his speed鈥� now.

The National Police Chief Council Lead for Roads Policing, Chief Constable, Suzette Davenport said:
鈥淪peed is a significant factor in fatal road accidents and extreme speed causes an even greater risk to road users.鈥�
