A driver who treated the Rainford Bypass like his own personal racetrack got an instant reality check this week after being clocked at a staggering 135mph — right as police arrived on scene.
Despite having received a Section 59 warning for antisocial driving only two months ago, the motorist wasted no time showing officers exactly why they were called out.
The high-speed stunt took place during a targeted police response to community complaints about drivers using the bypass as a race circuit.
A Merseyside Police spokesperson confirmed the vehicle was seized on the spot, and that the driver may face further prosecution.
“Want to hit 135mph? Try a go-kart track. Or better yet, a driving simulator.”
Community members have praised the swift action, with one local posting on X: “Finally! Rainford Bypass isn’t the Monaco Grand Prix. Great job, officers.”
