A driver was stopped on a motorway in Salford with a 'completely shredded' tyre.
Police said they spotted the Vauxhall Corsa driving on the M602 as officers were dealing with another broken down vehicle. The driver stopped the car and police noticed the tyre was shredded.
Pictures posted by GMP Traffic this morning showed the front-passenger side tyre with barely any rubber left on it. Police said the driver then refused to provide a sample of breath to check whether they were over the limit for either alcohol or drugs.
