Officers from South Yorkshire Police's operational support team started their evening shift last night (Jun 23) by tracking down the driver of this Volvo on the M18 at Doncaster, shortly after 8pm.

They clocked him travelling at 126mph.

A spokesman said: “Think the speed says it all. He will be off to court with a possible ban to follow."
