A taxi driver from Liverpool was caught on camera weaving in and out of moving traffic at speeds way above the limit. He told surprised police officers he’d make no money if he drove to the limit. The dashcam footage was captured by Merseyside Police's Roads Policing Unit and appeared on Twitter earlier this week.

It clearly shows the taxi travelling at speeds over 50mph in a 30mph zone.

When the driver was pulled over and given a caution the driver said: “Go 30mph on the cabs you make no money”.
