Driver With No Licence Or Insurance Caught Speeding At 123MPH: ‘Wanted A Kebab From Manchester’

Most of us have been there; you end up getting the munchies late at night and the only ‘food’ that you crave is a greasy doner kebab with all of the ‘trimmings’ (normally just loads of onions and soggy lettuce).

If you are ‘lucky’ enough to live near to a fast food outlet, then all you need to do is pop down to your local high street and queue up with all of the other hungry people before getting your fix of reclaimed meat and chilli sauce.

However, one motorist took things a whole lot further. 

So keen was he to get to his favourite eatery, that he got behind the wheel of a car without any insurance and devoid of a driving licence before racing down the motorway at 123 MPH.

Unfortunately for him, and luckily for other road users, the male was swiftly apprehended by the Mersey Police Road Policing Unit.

In a tweet shared on their page (@MerPolTraffic), a member of their team said:

“Car clocked at 123 mph on the M62.

“Driver stated he was speeding as he wanted a kebab from Manchester.

“He forgot to mention that he didn’t have a licence or insurance and the details he gave were his brothers.

“Fingerprints don’t lie!”.

Considering the legal speed limit on motorways in this country is 70 mph, this hungry chap was willing to do almost double that just so he could get to Manchester and feast on a kebab.

Maybe Manchester has the country’s best kebabs but driving without a licence, with no insurance and at 123 mph just to get one of these ‘delicacies’?

Probably not worth it to be fair.

Not when you consider that a lengthy driving ban is perhaps imminent for this driver.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
