The Porsche driver was travelling at more than four times the speed limit

Travelling at more than four times the limit, he was covering two miles a minute in a built-up area in East Grinstead, Sussex.

Two drivers tied for the dubious honour of being the absolute fastest.

Both were clocked at 146 mph on the 70mph M25 in Kent, one travelling anti-clockwise at Junction Five and the other going clockwise at Swanley.

At 140mph it is impossible to react to anything that might happen

Sarah Sillars, IAM chief

The Institute of Advanced Motorists unearthed details of the irresponsible drivers using a Freedom of Information request to police forces for speed camera data.

It found three other instances of 140mph or more being recorded – 145mph on the M6 toll road in Warwickshire, 141mph on the A1 northbound at Great Ponton in Lincolnshire, and 140mph on the 60mph A5 in Northamptonshire.

Sarah Sillars, IAM chief executive officer, said: “It is disheartening to say the least that some road users are showing such disregard for the safety of others.

"At 140mph it is impossible to react to anything that might happen.”
