A driver near Welwyn was pulled over yesterday after speeding at nearly 100mph in precarious road conditions.
Beds, Cambs and Herts Road Policing Unit tweeted out about the incident.
They said: "The roads are very icy [yesterday], with numerous crashes already reported. However, this driver decided 99mph was an acceptable speed given the conditions and icy road surface.
"[Traffic Offence Report] issued, advice given, driver reported for court."
And added: "The A1(M) had been gritted, but that doesn't automatically mean a road is safe, you need to drive safely to the conditions, which means you don't always have to drive up to 70mph and certainly not over it."
