An "eager" driver trying to get to Cornwall has been caught by police doing more than 100mph (160km/h).

Officers from a Devon and Cornwall Police road safety team tweeted a speed display showing a vehicle doing 107 mph (172 km/h) on Friday night.

Although officers did not say where the driver was caught, they did reveal it was a holidaymaker on an A road.

The driver would have to make second trip to the area "to speak to our magistrates", they added.
