17-year-old pretends to be 43 when stopped by police
A 17-year-old pretended to be 43 after he was stopped by police officers while driving on a motorway.
A 17-year-old who found himself in trouble with police decided to pretend he was 43 instead.
Greater Manchester Police revealed on Twitter that the young man had been driving on the motorway in an Audi when he was stopped by officers. He then opted to pretend that he was a man more than twice his age.
Predictably, his lie was soon rumbled and the car was taken away from him by the police.
The force wrote on social media: "Stopped above the M60 motorway in Stockport by #XT41.
