The driver was caught over the drink-drive limit
Sometimes you're lucky to reach 30mph on the M60. But one driver was pulled over and later arrested after trundling along at that speed near the Trafford Centre earlier today .
Officers spotted a white Vauxhall Corsa being driven well below the 70mph speed limit between junctions 10 and 11 of the M60. An image shared by Greater Manchester Police shows the Corsa being driven in the middle lane of the almost empty motorway, at the Barton Viaduct. The image shows the speed clocked by the GMP car, of 30mph, at 3.24am this morning. Police pursued the Corsa, which was driven off the M60 at Eccles, before coming to a stop at Liverpool Road.GMP says the driver was given a breathalyser test and was found to be above the limit for drink driving. He was arrested and later given another test, when he was still above the limit.
A GMP Traffic spokesperson wrote on X : "The Vauxhall Corsa was seen driving at 30mph between junction 10 and 11 of the M60. Stopped on Liverpool Road, Eccles, he would provide a positive breath sample and was arrested. In custody he's just provided a reading of 81."
