Well, it now seems two men have been arrested over the crazy incident – that was extremely dangerous.
Excessive speed is one of the UKs most dangerous road offences, that results in fatalities every year, so after seeing the 200+ mph violation, police wanted to make an example of the pair and show such disregard for safety is not acceptable on the roads.
The car was identified as an Audi RS6, and was driving on the M23 between Gatwick and Crawley.

An officer, who was speaking on behalf of Surrey and Sussex Roads Policing Unit, said in a statement: “As part of this complex investigation, we have pursued a number of lines of enquiry which has led to the arrest of two suspects.
“However, our enquiries are ongoing and we are still urging anyone with any information about the incident to report it online or call 101, quoting Operation Checkmate.”
He added: “Speeding is one of the four most common causes of fatal and serious injury collisions, and we will not tolerate these offences on our roads.
“While the vast majority of motorists stay within the speed limits, there is a small minority who put themselves and others at risk. There is no excuse for speeding at any time, and we will actively investigate any offences committed.”
