A motorist driving on the M1 was caught red-handed by an off-duty police officer. The driver attempted to exit junction 21 before changing their mind in the last moment.
The video depicts the exact moment when the motorist cut through the double solid white lines and drove away in his Volvo. They did not know however that an off-duty officer was two cars behind, filming the dangerous manoeuvre on dashcam footage.
Sharing the footage to social media, Leicestershire Police's Roads Policing Unit said: "Off duty and Driver decides he doesn’t need to conform to double solid white lines exiting m1 J21 and cuts across putting themselves and other road users [at risk]. #why?"
