An alleged drink-driver was arrested after officers spotted him driving without front tyres on the M66 in Greater Manchester in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
The motorist was said to be nearly six times over the limit when he was detained at the roadside on Wednesday.
North West Motorway police posted photos of the car’s bare wheels on Twitter, describing the incident as “unbelievable”.
Officers pulled over the driver at 1.50am when they saw the Renault Clio “struggling to drive” near Bury with no front tyres.
When they breathalysed him, they said he was found to have 196mg of alcohol per 100ml of breath – the legal limit is 35mg.
The driver was charged with driving a motor vehicle on a road while over the prescribed limit for alcohol, contrary to section 5 of the Road Traffic Act, and will appear in court later this month.
