A DISQUALIFIED Mercedes driver was caught speeding at 130mph through two sets of red lights – whilst wearing a pair of studded Adidas football boots.
The speeding motorist was caught by Burnley and Padiham Police in Lancashire at around 9pm last night.
The Mercedes-AMG GLC driver, who had previously been disqualified from driving, was busted speeding at 130mph along a motorway.
Not only did the motorist run through two red lights but they were also driving the vehicle whilst wearing a pair of white, blue and black Adidas football boots.
The driver’s large black Mercedes was later seized by cops at a nearby residential street.
Images show a grab from the police speed gauge clearly showing 131 miles per hour.
Another image shows the dangerous driver showcasing his flashy light blue football boots which have the recognisable Adidas black stripes to one side.
The dangerous driver’s vehicle was also pictured being loaded onto the back of a recovery vehicle.

“Or maybe it was because he was a disqualified driver.
“The answer is all of the above.
