An ice cream van driver faces coughing up some lolly after being caught speeding by road traffic cops. The red Mr Whippy truck was caught zooming at 62mph along the A6 Broad Street in Salford when he was spotted by Greater Manchester Police's traffic unit.
Police officers joked they could not “cone-done” the poor quality of the driving. And social media users also poked fun at the speeding vendor with a flurry of replies, with one wag asking: "Was it being driven with flake number plates?"
Twitter users were quick to recall a famous gag on the Morecambe and Wise show in the 1970s in which comedian Eric Morecambe hears an ambulance siren and quips: “He won't sell much ice cream going at that speed”.
