Details of the incident were shared by the Kent Roads Policing account on Twittier at 8.40am.

They said: "It might be a nice car & it might be a sunny morning, but travelling in excess of 100mph, changing lanes without indicating and contravening the red light (even when it was solid red on the approach) will result in a ticket being issued and reported for all offences."

Kent Police have been approached for more details.

For failing to stop for a red light, you can expect a £100 fine and three points on your licence.

Not using indicators classes as careless and inconsiderate driving as, without proper signalling to other drivers when changing lanes or using a roundabout, you could be responsible for causing an accident.

This offence could land you with a huge fine up to £5,000, up to nine points on your licence, and you could even be disqualified from driving in serious cases.
