A lorry driver was issued with a fine by police after being caught taking a tachograph break in a live lane on the M56.
The driver had stopped on the motorway on an open access slip road in the early hours of Wednesday morning (March 30). North West Motorway Police brought the driver's strange parking to attention on their Twitter account where a picture revealed the lorry stationary on a downhill live lane.
The tweet from the motorway police said: "Our ME58 came across this HGV on access slip road of M56 stopped in live lane to take a tacho break - ticket issued."
