THE driver of a £70,000 sports car was caught by police speeding at 94mph in a 40mph zone.

 A spokesman for the Dorset Police No Excuse Team said: "A £70,000 Porsche Boxter 718 GTS driver was reported to court this morning for travelling at 135% above the 40 MPH speed limit at 94 MPH.

"We are appalled to witness such dangerous, reckless and inconsiderate driving.

"The driver was sorry for his actions stating: 'Sorry I've been stupid, a car was annoying me so I accelerated to overtake it'.

"He already holds points on his driving licence for speeding, he will now be summoned to court.

"Before dealing with this in a short period we also issued fixed penalties to the drivers of three Mercedes and another Porsche."
