Speed checks in Stamford lead to driver caught almost twice the limit on loo run

A driver rushing home to use the toilet was caught speeding at nearly double the limit on a town road.

Lincolnshire Police’s Roads Policing Unit carried out checks on Sidney Farm Lane in Stamford following community concerns.

They stopped a motorist who admitted they were in a hurry due to needing the bathroom.

“Unfortunately travelling at almost twice the speed limit is an unacceptable excuse,” said the unit on X on Friday.
