A BMW driver was arrested on suspicion of drink driving after being 'stopped on the M60 doing 30mph with a blown tyre'. The driver was also suspected of having no insurance and allegedly using false plates after being pulled up by police on Friday night (October 28).

GMP Traffic tweeted a picture of the car, which showed it had been allegedly driven on an almost completely shredded front passenger side tyre. Police say the driver was allegedly found to be almost twice the drink drive limit after taking a breathalyser.

GMP Traffic tweeted: "This motorist thought that he was clever by putting false plates onto his vehicle to bypass him not having insurance. The fact that he had no nearside tyres driving at 30mph on the M60 gave him away though. Arrested drink drive and blew 64 in custody vehicle seized."
