Manchester Driver Filmed Doing 100mph in 30mph Zone

A reckless driver has been filmed on dashcam driving at more than three times the speed limit on a residential street near a school.

The incident happened in Leigh, Greater Manchester, when a black Vauxhall was seen tearing down the middle of a suburban road at an estimated 90-100mph.

When the driver spotted traffic in the road ahead, the motorist pulled onto a patch of grass popular with dog walkers and children before pulling back onto the tarmac.

Gary Unwin, from Leigh, filmed the 40-second clip on November 5 using a £9 dashcam that had arrived in the post that very morning.

Mr Unwin said:

"I wasn't so much concerned that he'd hit me as he flew past, I was more worried about people turning on to the road from side streets.

"They wouldn't be expecting someone to come flying down. I was also bothered about pedestrians crossing the road.

"It's miraculous that no-one was hurt the way he was driving."

The incident has been reported to Greater Manchester Police but no arrests have been made.
