A clueless driver has been caught filming himself breaking the law after he was clocked speeding down a highway.
The young tradie was spotted speeding in a white Toyota Hilux on the M1 Motorway near Berowra in northern Sydney at 5.40pm on Monday.

After police informed the driver his license would be immediately suspended he unlocked his phone to call a friend – revealing the incriminating video.

The P-plater was dealt with a mammoth $4174 bill and issued 13 demerit points.
