No tax, no MOT, no insurance, no handbrake, bald tyres and a cracked windscreen - someone was driving around in this absolute deathtrap

Someone was caught driving around in a car with no tax, no MOT, no insurance, no handbrake, bald tyres and a cracked windscreen.

Police said it was an 'accident waiting to happen'.

Officers from GMP's Rochdale division posted images of the car on Facebook.

"Are you having a laugh?," the post read.

"Driving around with no tax...no MOT...no insurance...bald tyres...cracked screen...no handbrake.

"Thankfully, the team spotted this accident waiting to happen and took it off the streets. Driver will appear in court."
