Police Shocked At Students’ 300 Mile Round-Trip To Liverpool For ‘Change Of Scenery’

Police also found the driver of the car carrying the students only had a provisional driving licence whilst along the M62 motorway. The hapless students explained to stunned police that they had decided to embark on a 300 to 400-mile round road trip to Liverpool because they fancied “a change of scenery”.

The astonishing stupidity and brazen breach of Covid essential travel rules were today revealed by the police officers who stopped them on their journey. A spokesman added: “When safely on the hard shoulder, we then find two bald tyres. And he only has a provisional driving licence – he was picking his friend up from Sheffield to go to Liverpool, apparently for a change of scenery. They should have stayed at home, and all of this would have been avoided.”

“Absolutely not acceptable. Therefore, the driver has been reported for; Excess speed, Inconsiderate driving, 2x bald tyres, Driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence, No insurance (as any policy he has will now be invalid), Vehicle seized, Breaching covid restrictions. The passenger will also be reported for his breach of restrictions also- the fines are expected to harsh!
