A motorcyclist from Gloucestershire has received an 18 month driving ban after being clocked by police travelling at more than 120mph on the M5 near Clevedon. The 21-year-old was stopped in June after he undertook an unmarked police car at well over the legal speed limit. The incident was captured by the police car's onboard camera. The defendant appeared at North Somerset Magistrates Court where he received a driving ban as well as a £145 fine for court costs and was ordered to carry out 250 hours of community service. Insp Leona Naish from the Roads Policing Unit said: "We hope this case sends a message to riders and drivers to warn them to slow down.
