Motorist's car seized for speeding after only driving for seven months

A motorist who has only been driving for seven months had his car seized on Middleton Road in Blackley after speeding at 55mph when the limit was 30mph.

According to a spokesperson for the Greater Manchester Police Special Constabulary, who were enforcing the speed limit in the area at the time, the person's anti-social driving also included "revving his engine".

He had previously received a warning, meanwhile, about his driving in June of this year.

The incident was recounted on the official Twitter account of the Greater Manchester Police Special Constabulary @GMPSpecials earlier this evening at 10.21pm, with the post reading: "A driver of 7 months had his car seized for anti social driving on Saturday by our @GMPSpecials who were enforcing the speed limit on #MiddletonRoad @GMPBlackley.
