A speeding motorcyclist, clocked at 124mph, has been convicted of dangerous driving.
Henry Drummond, 35, of New Hunterfield, Gorebridge, denied committing the offence on the A7 at Fountainhall on July 25 last year, but was found guilty after trial.
Convicting the accused at Selkirk on Monday, Sheriff Kevin Drummond commented: “The test to be applied is whether or not the driving by the accused fell far below the standard to be expected of a careful and competent driver in the face of obvious potential dangers.”
Sentence was deferred until Monday for Drummond to appear personally.
