A record-breaking driver who traveled the length of Britain in nine hours should be prosecuted for speeding, the AA has said.

Tommy Davies managed to break the land speed record from Land's End to John O'Groats by managing it in nine hours and 36 minutes, only hitting one red traffic light.

He journeyed through 15 police constabularies, went past 50 speed cameras, and spotted seven police cars on the 841-mile trip.

And he didn't get a single ticket, despite an average speed of almost 90mph.

But Ian Crowder, head of road safety at the AA, said: "This is just totally reckless and irresponsible.

"Britain's road are crowded, and far too many people are injured and killed in road accidents every day.
