Police film idiotic passenger hanging out of BMW window at 60mph for 'banter'
The passenger was spotted by Lincolnshire Police traffic cops hanging out of the passenger window to mimic cleaning another car the vehicle was passing.
This is the shocking moment police filmed an idiot hanging out of a car window at 60mph pretending to clean his friend's BMW for "banter".
A heart-stopping video has emerged showing the incident, which took place in the fast lane of the A1 on Saturday afternoon on July 22.
The front seat passenger can be seen hanging out of the window as the car hurtles down the dual carriageway near Grantham, Lincs.
He appears to pretend to clean his friend's white BMW as he overtook. To make matters worse, the car is travelling in the fast lane in torrential rain at the time of the dangerous stunt.
Police dashcam footage captured the incident and blasted the passenger's "deplorable behaviour".
Writing on the force's Twitter page, they said: "This deplorable behaviour was witnessed by #RPU on the A1 dual carriageway in Grantham, travelling at 60mph.
"Passenger was cleaning his friend's vehicle for 'banter'. Driver and passenger reported for multiple offences and section 59 warning issued."

A spokesperson said the driver and passenger had been reported for several offences.
The pair were slapped with a Section 59 warning notice, meaning police could seize the vehicle if they committed further offences.
According to the AA the stopping distance for a car in normal conditions at 60mph is 73m, or 240 feet, but in wet conditions, or if the driver is distracted, this distance can significantly increase.
