Police said the Mercedes driver was spotted "driving recklessly through Oswestry" on Friday.
After being stopped and spoken to by officers, the driver was issued with a traffic offence report (TOR).
PC Simon Wilkey of Ellesmere and Rural Safer Neighbourhood Team said: "Yesterday this car was seen by officers driving recklessly through Oswestry.
"The driver was stopped and spoken and has been issued with a traffic offence report for careless driving."
Officers may issue a TOR instead of a fixed penalty ticket as they allow police to offer driver education courses.
There are two types of motoring offences for which a TOR can be issued: non-endorsable offences that carry a fine of between £30 to £100 with no penalty points or endorsable offences that carry a fine of between £100 and £300 and can result in between three and six penalty points.
Some endorsable offences allow the opportunity to attend an educational course instead of paying a fine if the recipient hasn't attended the same course within three years.
