A man caught travelling at 130mph near Lichfield has been disqualified from driving for 20 months.
Martin Jean Corcoveanu, from Walsall, pleaded guilty to driving dangerously at Cannock Magistrates Court.
The 27-year-old was also given a 12 week sentence suspended for 12 months.
The court heard that two police officers were travelling on a 70mph stretch of the A5 at around 11.20am on the 5th May when a BMW was spotted exceeding the speed limit.
Corcoveanu was found to have been clocking 130mph at some points, as well as going through a red light at a roundabout.
PC Craig Beardsley said:
“Corcoveanu clearly didn’t care about the danger he was putting himself and others in with his dangerous driving, at speeds of over 130mph.
“His actions were reckless and it is a miracle that nobody was seriously hurt or injured.”
PC Craig Beardsley, Staffordshire Police
