Just another of the many drivers on the #M62 tonight who have a complete disregard for road safety. The driver of this vehicle even had the audacity to try and claim that he was only doing 75mph. He already has 6 points on his licence (you've guessed it) for speeding. No words.😡 pic.twitter.com/HRCOzxTVyU
