It is currently Road Safety Week in Guernsey, but that did not stop this motorist doing nearly three times the 35mph speed limit.

In April, a 19-year-old man died on the Vazon Coast Road when the car in which he was a passenger overturned while travelling at high speed near Crabby Jack’s restaurant.

Following the latest incident overnight, Police this afternoon released a message emphasising that driving at such speeds in Guernsey is reckless and dangerous as well as illegal.

“At nearly three times our speed limit, 91mph is too fast for a motorway, never mind local roads,” said the Police.

“Be under no illusion, you make a mistake at that speed and it’s highly unlikely you’ll be walking away from it – nor will anyone else you hit.

“There is no time or place on this island where it’s safe to go anywhere near that speed – it is [a] lethal level and it has no place on our roads.

“We were serious with our Road Safety Week messaging earlier this week: nothing is worth driving so fast that you’re putting lives on the line.”
