“The Mini in question was recorded travelling at 104mph. The Mini Challenge and Scottish Mini Cooper Cup are track events, the maximum speed limit for any vehicle on a motorway is 70mph, unless otherwise stated.

“The 24-year-old driver will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal for the offence and faces losing his licence, a hefty fine and many points on his licence. Travelling at this speed is unacceptable, selfish, and puts other people’s lives at risk.

"If you want to feel like a racing driver please book a track day.”
