Volvo C30, green driven by unknown

Just found this is a Motability vehicle. Any how this car came shooting down Woodhead road in Holmfirth and overtook dangerously. This driver didn't care about anyone in his surroundings. The driver was an absolute loonatic and on the 30 mph he must have been easily 50-60 mph and nearly hit the rear of my vehicle as he was going too quickly. He then overtook a load of vehicles dangerously.
