The shocking incident occurred just after 10pm near junction 24 for Denton Island.

A video of the offence was tweeted by Greater Manchester Police, who wrote: “Now when you're hogging the outside lane & exceeding the speed limit & the cops draw up behind you in a liveried 330 its usually time to move.

“136mph & not checking its the dibble behind.”

The driver has since been reported for summons, “soon to be disqualified me thinks”, the force added.
