Driver caught doing 'frankly ridiculous' speed of 129mph on M60

A driver was caught doing 129 miles per hour on the M60.

The motorist initially stopped alongside officers on the motorway this morning (November 7) at around 5.40am.

They then took off at a 'frankly ridiculous' speed between Hollinwood and Ashton-under-Lyne.

The driver has since been summonsed to court.

In a picture shared online by the force, a screenshot of the dashcam footage shows the motorway with a few cars also on the road at the same time.

At the bottom of the picture the speedometer shows the shocking speed of 129 miles per hour.

In a tweet, GMP Traffic said: "Driver stopped on the M60 this morning after joining alongside #ZME18 and then travelling at a frankly ridiculous speed between Hollinwood and Ashton-under-Lyne.

"Behaviour like this is not acceptable and will result in a court summons, as it did for this driver.@NWmwaypolice"
