Man arrested for filming himself driving at 160mph on the M4
He recorded himself speeding on the M4 near Chippenham - which officers were later made aware of
A man has been arrested after filming himself driving at around 160mph down the M4 near Chippenham.
Officers were made aware of a video posted on social media by the suspect, a man in his 30s, between junctions 16 and 18 at around 12.45pm on Sunday (January 28).
They say he was driving a black Nissan GTR and going 'well in excess of the speed limit'.
The driver was arrested last night (30 January) on suspicion of dangerous driving and his car was seized 'for examination'.
Sgt Ben Cox said: “This is completely unacceptable.
“Driving at speeds like this can so easily end in disaster as you have no time to respond to anything.
“We will not tolerate dangerous driving like this on our roads and we will ensure that those who do are found and brought before the courts.
“If you witnessed this behaviour on the M4 then please get in touch with us on 101 or via our website quoting reference 54240011186.”
