Gordon Logan was killed by a speeding car on Dunnikier Way

Gordon Logan, of Kirkcaldy, died after he was struck by a car speeding at 86mph on 40mph Dunnikier Way.

On Sunday, a car was recorded by road safety cameras doing 70mph on the opposite carriageway of the same road.

Gordon's mother, Wendy, pleaded with drivers to slow down before another child is killed.

Mrs Logan, who still places flowers at the spot where her son died, said: "One child has already been killed on this road. How many more deaths does it take to get the message across? Why are people so ignorant and selfish?"

Earlier this year, Ryan McAndrew, 23, of Kirkcaldy, was sentenced to five years in prison for causing Gordon's death.

What hope would anyone have if a driver is bearing down on them doing twice the speed limit - in a busy and built up area? John McDonald Fife Police

Fife's Road Policing Inspector John McDonald said: "Despite all the publicity these terrible tragedies receive - and the long-term suffering they cause for families and communities - some people think they are simply above the law.

"Ryan McAndrew did not leave his home intending to kill anyone - but a few seconds of recklessness was all it took to rob a child of his life and ruin his own future.

"Speed limits are there for a very good reason. They are put in place to ensure that if something unexpected happens - the driver can take the necessary action to avoid an accident.

"What hope would anyone have if a driver is bearing down on them doing twice the speed limit - in a busy and built up area?"

'Slow down'

On Saturday, the cameras also filmed a car doing 96mph on 50mph Queensferry Road, Dunfermline. Both drivers caught speeding at the weekend have been reported to Fife Police.

Insp McDonald reiterated that anyone caught on camera speeding would be pursued by the police and could lose their licence.

"We have got to get the message out to these drivers - slow down before it is too late," he said.

Andy Jones, spokesman for the Safety Camera Partnership added: "Incidents like this prove that Fife's safety cameras are in the correct locations. It also emphasises the close working relationship we have with Fife Police in maintaining road safety."
