South Yorkshire Police said officers had followed the driver racing along the motorway for ‘some distance’ without him checking his mirrors and spotting them.

“The driver’s excuse? He was desperate for the toilet having driven all the way up from London,” said the force.

Despite his desperation, they added, he was able to sit ‘quite comfortably’ for 10 minutes after being stopped.
