A driver caught doing 90mph in the 50mph roadworks section of the M6 in Staffordshire was found to have his speedometer stuck on 80mph, police have said.
The Central Motorway Police Group added it also turned out the driver had no licence, no insurance or tax, so their vehicle was seized.
Photos have been released showing new gantries being installed on the M6 in Staffordshire as part of a £335m smart motorway scheme.
The work has been completed even as smart motorways come under fire over safety concerns.
Highways England is currently making the changes to the route between J13, for Stafford, and J15, for Stoke-on-Trent.
Last night, it finished work to install new gantries to display electronic signs.
The scheme could take until 2022 to finish with the next stage to see the current northbound contraflow switched to the southbound side in the new year.
Last month, the government said it would review smart motorways following concerns over driver safety.

A lorry driver's been fined after driving on the M6 with a windscreen so cluttered, they couldn't clearly see the motorway ahead, police have said.
They tweeted this photo of the inside of the HGV's cab, saying it was stopped at Sandbach, in Cheshire.
The force said the accessories on the windscreen also prevented a clear view of the front mirror.

Part of the M6 southbound has reopened after being resurfaced overnight following a lorry fire, Highways England has tweeted.
The fire broke out early on Tuesday and closed the southbound carriageway between junction two for the M69 and junction one at Rugby.
Specialist teams were sent to the scene to recover the lorry trailer that had been carrying a "hazardous substance".
Highways England closed the southbound side from J4 to J2 just before 21:00 to carry out the works and said the total closure was removed just after 05:00.
J2 to J1 on the M6 southbound looks set to reopen following this morning's lorry fire, but emergency resurfacing works in the wake of the blaze mean disruption continues.

The collision happened just after 07:00 between J14 and J15, near Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford.
Traffic which was trapped in lanes one and two is currently being released by Highways England.
Once that's done, the organisation says it'll release drivers stuck in the contraflow, part of long-term roadworks on the M6.
