The mayor admitted he was 'going too fast' when he was clocked doing 78mph, almost double the temporary 40mph limit
Andy Burnham has been hit with a bill of almost £2,000 after he was caught doing 78mph on a section of motorway where the limit had been reduced to 40.
Mr Burnham told the Manchester Evening News: "On the night in question, I was travelling home on the M62 westbound in normal motorway conditions intending to come off at junction 10 for the M6. "I was not aware of any variable speed limit in place on the smart motorway system at the time and only found out about it when the letter arrived in the post.
