A Bristol man has been banned from driving for a year after he overtook an unmarked police car on the M4 at up to 150mph. Sajawal Khan told officers he was returning from London in the early hours of November 14 last year, after celebrating his birthday.
Driving a silver Mercedes, the 23-year-old zoomed past an unmarked police car between the two Swindon junctions of the westbound M4 in Wiltshire. PC Alexandra Way was the officer in the unmarked car, and she radioed for backup, and police then monitored Khan travelling at speeds between 120mph and 150mph across Wiltshire towards Bristol.
Khan, from Stottbury Road in St Agnes, Bristol, was pulled over and police found he had three passengers in his car. A spokesperson for Wiltshire police confirmed: “An officer was on patrol on the westbound carriageway of the motorway between Junctions 15 and 16 in the early hours of 14 November, when she became aware of a vehicle travelling behind her and approaching her rapidly.
