A MAN has been arrested after officers stopped a car driving at 122mph on the M5 - after GETTING A HAIRCUT IN WALES, police said.
Avon and Somerset Police tweeted that the occupant of the vehicle had been “travelling back from Wales after getting a haircut”.
The car was stopped near Junction 23 - for Burnham and Bridgwater - of the M5 in Somerset on Thursday.
Hairdressers and barbers have been allowed to open in Wales since Monday, but remain closed in England.
In a tweet, the force said: “Officers stopped a car driving at 122mph near J23 of the #M5 yesterday. The occupant was travelling back from Wales after getting a haircut.
“A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drugs after failing a roadside test. Enquiries ongoing.”
