Unlicenced driver pulled over on way for kebab

The vehicle was seized by police

A road maintenance vehicle was pulled over this weekend as the driver was on his way for a kebab in Rochdale.

Police officers pulled the vehicle over at 2am on Sunday (16 December), where they discovered the driver didn’t hold a licence.

The driver also failed a roadside drug test and the vehicle, an asphalt hotbox used to keep asphalt warm when resurfacing roads, was seized.

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police traffic said: “[This is a] Strange vehicle to be taking to the kebab shop at 2am.

"The driver was arrested as he didn't hold a driving licence and he failed a roadside drug test, both of which might explain his poor driving.”
