'Mortified' mum caught speeding with young children in the back on M5

Police stopped two drivers speeding on the M5 within an hour of each other in exactly the same spot - and one of them had young children in the back.

One "mortified" mum was stopped near Cullompton after being clocked doing 95mph, reports Devon Live.

A spokesman for the Devon and Cornwall Roads Policing Team said: "This Nissan was stopped on the motorway near Cullompton travelling at 95mph. Upon being stopped there were two young children in the car. One mortified driver has been reported for her actions."

Less than 30 minutes earlier and in the same spot on the M5 motorway, a VW driver already with three points on his licence for speeding was also stopped after being caught speeding again.
