As reported by The Press at the time, North Yorkshire Police traffic constable Adam Smith issued the Silverstone warning when he took part in a crackdown on street racing in the county in 2022.
However, following a hearing at Police Headquarters in Northallerton on May 24 this year, Smith was dismissed from North Yorkshire Police after he was caught speeding.
The officer was clocked on two occasions during the same journey, driving at 154mph and 98mph.
The hearing into Smith's conduct found that both speeding incidents happened on the A1(M) northbound. There was no policing purpose for the excessive speed, the hearing was told.
