A DRIVER who failed a roadside drugs test had his car seized by police after being caught undertaking cars on a main road near Bolton.
Traffic officers were conducting routine patrols on September 17 when they spotted a black BMW illegally undertaking other vehicles on the A666 St Peter's Way.
The man travelled onto Kay Street, and was eventually cornered on Hibbert Street after a second patrol joined the chase.
He subsequently failed a roadside drugs test - registering a positive result for cocaine.
The car was seized by police as the driver had been previously warned for similar type of offences.
