Footage has been released that shows a motorway driver reaching out and taking a can of beer from a stag do minibus at 70mph. Police released the video that captures the moment Paul Holmes took the drink from one of the passengers in the minibus.
The 24-year-old civil engineer overtook another vehicle before pulling back into the middle lane, alongside the minibus which was driving in the right lane of the motorway, between junctions 16 and 17 of the M6, reports StokeonTrentLive. He then moved close enough to take the can.
Holmes, of Darkwood Crescent, Clitheroe, has now been disqualified from driving for 15 months after admitting dangerous driving. And he'll have to pass an extended test if he wants to hit the road again. North Staffordshire Justice Centre heard the motorway was busy at the time, and the stunt could have had "catastrophic" consequences. Holmes's solicitor said he had been caught up in a "very exciting day".
