POLICE have arrested a man who posted images of himself driving on the M4 at 180mph.
Images emerged on social media of the driver clocking 180mph on the M4 on Boxing Day. Police believe the incident took place following a car meet in Chippenham.
Enquiries by Wiltshire Roads Policing Unit led to a man in his 30's from Eastleaze in Swindon, being arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving last night (28/12).
He was taken to custody at Gablecross for questioning and remains there this morning.
Sgt Ben Cox said: “It goes without saying that these kinds of speeds are absolutely ridiculous and this behaviour will not be tolerated - we will identify those involved and ensure they are put before the courts so that they can be held accountable for their actions.
“A number of members of the public contacted us who witnessed this behaviour on the M4 – if you have any information which could assist please get in touch.”
Call 101 and quote crime reference number 54230137111.
