Several speeding motorists were caught driving at more than 90mph around Wiltshire.
The Roads Policing Unit shared photos of four speed checks and one dash cam camera image that showed drivers going at dangerous speeds on Sunday.
The highest speed limit in the county is the 70mph on the M4 motorway, though one driver went well above that and was caught doing 103mph.
