A 44-year-old man will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal following reports of dangerous riding on the A1 and A720.

Road policing officers stopped the driver on the afternoon of Wednesday 4th August by using an unmarked motorcycle equipped with new digital recording kit, which was unveiled last month.

Sergeant Roger Park, of Police Scotland’s Trunk Road Patrol Group, said: “We received complaints regarding what was described as dangerous riding in East Lothian.

“We deployed our unmarked motorcycle and supporting resources, and as a result we spoke to an individual and a report of the circumstances will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

“We will continue to utilise all methods at our disposal to deter and detect dangerous and inappropriate driving and riding on our roads.“
