Nearly two weeks into the UK’s coronavirus lockdown, and people are still driving like idiots. Just last week, GMP's Chief Constable Ian Hopkins slammed drivers for treating the region's largely empty roads like a 'race track' and driving at 'ludicrous' speeds.
He warned that rogue drivers were putting lives at risk. "Please, treat the roads safely because if you are in an accident its tying up NHS resources and it's tying up our resource and it's putting everybody at risk of further infection", Mr Hopkins added.
But people are still choosing to ignore this and break the rules of the road. Overnight on Thursday (April 2), the North West Motorway Police dealt with a number of incidents across the region.
