A car has been seized from a mum after she let her child sleep in the back.
Greater Manchester Police officers pulled over a parent shortly before 12.50am last night, after she was found to have ran a red while also driving more than 50 per cent over the speed limit.

When the patrol unit walked over to the car on Didsbury Road, in Stockport, they discovered a child unrestrained in the back seats, as well as three tyres without grip and the driver had no insurance.
A spokesperson for the force said: "This vehicle contravened a red traffic light, drove at 47mph in a 30mph zone, had three bald tyres and no insurance.
