Police are reminding drivers the roads are "real life not a racing game" after three cars were seen driving dangerously in West Lothian.

The convoy of three hatchbacks were stopped in Livingston on Wednesday after a road policing team saw several examples of dangerous driving.

They were seen going up to 80mph in a 50mph zone, pulling out right in front of a lorry and crossing a solid white line.

Each of the three drivers was either cautioned or charged with traffic offences.

Police Scotland's Road Policing Unit shared a picture of the cars, saying: "3 vehicles driving in convoy in Livingston at speeds of up to 80mph in a 50 mph zone, all cut up an HGV then two of them crossed a solid white line.

"All displayed examples of dangerous driving, stopped & cautioned / charged accordingly. #WestLothianRP#RealLifeNotARacingGame "
