Mercedes driver posts Instagram clip of himself driving at 149mph on M4 and gets banned from the road

A dangerous driver filmed himself driving at 149mph on the M4 as a puppy slept on the passenger seat. The clip was shot before he almost lost control of the car. He posted the video to Instagram with the caption: "Puppy hit his first 150mph today."

Aaron Duffy, 29, uploaded the video to social media in July last year which showed him speeding on the motorway between junction 36 and 37 near Bridgend. The figure on the speedometer can be clearly seen and hits the 149mph mark.

A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Magistrates' Court heard a member of the public saw the footage and contacted GoSafe and an investigation started. Duffy was identified as the driver and CCTV from Traffic Wales was obtained.
