A reckless driver treating the Rainford Bypass like a racetrack was caught red-handed this week — zooming at a shocking 135mph just as police pulled up. The stunt came despite the driver already receiving a Section 59 warning for antisocial driving only two months earlier.
Instant Karma for Speed Demon
The high-speed madness unfolded during a police crackdown responding to community complaints about drivers racing on the bypass. A 123, officers can confiscate vehicles driven dangerously, especially when it’s a repeat offence. Police reminded drivers that previous warnings carry serious weight — and repeat offenders risk instant vehicle removal.
Police Tell Speedsters: Take It to a Track
Closing their message with a sharp dose of common sense, officers urged:
“Want to hit 135mph? Try a go-kart track. Or better yet, a driving simulator.”
The community has praised the swift police action. One local posted on X: “Finally! Rainford Bypass isn’t the Monaco Grand Prix. Great job, officers.”
