A spokesman for Essex Police Colchester said: "They were clocked at 96mph and now face 3 points, a £100 fine and more than likely an insurance hike.

"Speed is one of the Fatal4 offences which the Roads Policing Unit are actively targeting.

"The extra speed doesn't cut that much off of your journey, definitely not worth the risk."
