Police in Swindon have caught a few drivers breaking the law over the weekend.
On Sunday morning, Roads Policing Unit officers carried out speed checks on the M4 between Junctions 15 and 16.
One driver they stopped before 9am admitted to having had his cruise control set to 100mph, well above the 70mph speed limit.
A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: "At least he knows it's accurate. Now he will be cruising off to court."
The spokesperson referred to the Fatal Five which are the most common causes of deadly crashes - speeding, using a handheld mobile phone, drink or drug driving, not wearing a seatbelt, and careless driving.
And at around 10pm on Saturday evening, officers witnessed two vehicles travelling at excess speed and using Great Western Way in Swindon for a rolling drag race.
Both drivers - one in a white Mercedes and the other in a blue Ford - have been reported, police have said.
