A DRIVER who was captured travelling at eye-watering speeds on a motorway blew over the drink-drive limit.
Greater Manchester Police tweeted about the incident, where patrolling officers came across a driver who hit speeds of 130mph close to the M61.
They were pulled over and asked to provide a breath test, which they did, blowing over.
They later failed to provide a specimen.
A spokesman said: “If you drive like this then you're going to attract the attention of traffic. The driver of this vehicle reached speeds of 130mph before being stopped using TPAC tactics by #RPUwest. Driver blew over at the roadside and later failed to provide. #charged”
DCC Terry Woods of Lancashire Police said: “Drink driving at 130mph.... well done @gmptraffic for taking the driver off the road.”
