"Vehicle drove many miles on 2 flat tyres having collided with a kerb. Detained by a MOP on hard shoulder. Driver blew 109 on roadside (x3 limit)."

It's one of a number of incidents involving dangerous drivers on the M6 in recent weeks. On Thursday, March 3, a drink driver was arrested after travelling down the motorway with their bonnet lid hanging clean off.

The motorist was pulled over by "shocked" police officers while taking their Fiat for a spin down the M6, in Cumbria. Police said the “very obstructive drunk driver” was then swiftly arrested.
