Police officers called to reports of pedestrians on the motorway found two teenagers laid down on the central reservation looking at the stars. The stargazing teens were a 17-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man.
Both displayed what officers described as a 'poor attitude' when they were removed from the centre of the M1 in South Yorkshire in the early hours of Friday (April 8). This was after officers had to stop all traffic on the motorway at junction 34 at Meadowhall, near Sheffield, at around 3.30am.
