A police motorway interceptor driver got an unexpected Christmas bonus when a wanted driver gave him the perfect excuse 

Dashcam video released by PC Martin Willis on social media shows the car zooming past his marked BMW X5 on the M62 near Brighouse before accelerating up past 100mph.

When PC Willis stopped the car he found the driver was already wanted by police.

The collar was a highlight of an eventful weekend for PC Willis who, as "Motorway Martin", is gaining a cult following on Twitter for posting dramatic pictures and videos.

In the early hours of Monday he stopped two more speeding drivers going at over 90mph in less than ideal driving conditions.
