BMW driver speeding at 90mph on M62 only had 20-year-old provisional licence

A BMW driver gave police false details when they were caught speeding at 90mph on the M62 - before admitting they only had a 20-year-old provisional licence.

Officers stopped the car between junction 5 for Huyton and 6 for Tarbock Island, according to a tweet by North West Motorway Police on Sunday afternoon.

At first, the driver gave false details, police said.

But they later admitted to only having a provisional licence, which they'd had for 20 years.

Officers confirmed that the driver has now been reported for the offences.

They posted a picture of the blue BMW at 12.14pm. 

The full tweet read: "This vehicle was stopped after being on M62 between junction 6 and 5 speeding at 90 mph. 

"When stopped, after initially giving false details, it was confirmed that the driver had a provisional licence only which they'd had for 20 years.

"Driver reported for the offences."
