The VW Golf R was caught driving at 102mph on Tom Benson Way last weekend, which the police said was ‘frankly ridiculous’.

Lancashire Road Police posted on Twitter: “Yes the road is relatively straight but it isn’t your drag strip! That driver will have had a letter this week, inviting them to court and a likely ban.”

Replies to the Tweet describe it as ‘totally dangerous’ driving.
