'Bullying' BMW driver raced at 120mph on M4 with son and pregnant partner in car

A driver raced along the M4 motorway tailgating other motorists at high speeds and "bullying " them out of the way while his son and pregnant partner were in the car.

Michael Smith’s dangerous behaviour continued for around 11 miles as he reached speeds of 120mph - but unbeknown to him, he was being closely watched by a police officer in an unmarked car. The officer finally ended the driving as the defendant raced through the 50mph stretch of the road through Port Talbot at 80mph.

A judge told Smith he had put at risk not only his own safety but that of his pregnant partner and young son, and the safety of the other road users he encountered.
