The driver, who was caught by the same officer, has now been reported for driving without due care and attention following the collision on Saturday.

A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: "You may remember this GT-R from the 7th of May. The driver failed to heed his warning or change his number plate and has now been reported for driving without due care and attention following a collision in Blackburn.

"We are absolutely committed to stopping the antisocial use of Lancashire’s roads and we want you to keep reporting these incidents to us as we can only deal with what we know about.

"In a twist of fate it was the same officer as the previous incident and the driver had less to say this time."
