A man has been left red faced after a bumper sticker landed him in hot water with police.

Police officers were quick to point out the driver's cannabis-themed sticker after he failed a drug test on the side of the M20 near Ashford.

The driver was pulled over by eagle-eyed officers after they spotted him driving without a seatbelt.

They then gave him a roadside drug wipe for cannabis, which he duly failed.

It came after officers spotted the sticker on the back of the van that read :"Gas, Grass or Arse: Nobody Rides for free".

A police spokesman said on twitter: "Some really don’t help themselves!

"Van displaying this sticker was stopped on the M20 near Ashford as the driver was not wearing a seatbelt. Unfortunately the driver also failed a road side drug wipe for cannabis... ironic!"
