Andy Burnham lands hefty fine after 'going too fast' on the M62

Andy Burnham was given a hefty fine and six points after he was caught speeding on the M62.

The Mayor of Greater Manchester was caught travelling at 78mph on a stretch of the motorway where the speed limit was reduced to 40mph. With his usual junction being closed, Mr Burnham said he did not realise the speed limit had been reduced.

After his appearance in court earlier this month, he has since spoken out about the charge as he accepts he was "going too fast" and accepted the court's decision.
