The driver, caught on Yeadon Way in Blackpool driving his white Ford Focus without insurance, had to stump up £82 to pay for the taxi back to Manchester, police said.

The costly journey came after the car was seized and taken away on the back of a recovery truck.

As reported yesterday, officers from the county's Roads Policing Unit (RPU) have been cracking down on illegal motorists throughout the weekend.
