Composite image showing M4 and computer Pictures: PEXEL/ADVER A POLLSTER was caught doing more than 100mph down the M4 – as he raced to a government away day. Ben Page, chief executive of polling firm Ipsos MORI, was behind the wheel of a 2016-plate Jaguar F-type on the motorway near Swindon on January 12 last year when a police officer clocked the sports car doing 102mph. In a statement read to Swindon Magistrates’ Court this afternoon, the 56-year-old said he’d been on his way to a speaking engagement at a government away day. He added: “I realise the stupidity of speeding and its potential to harm others and myself.” Page said he’d had three decades without a blemish on his driving record.
