Lancashire Police received information from concerned members of the public travelling on the M6 motorway in the early hours of this morning of a car and the way it was being driven.
Cops quickly traced down the vehicle and breathalysed the driver who blew 95 at the roadside. The 17-year-old girl was arrested and has since been charged.
In a social media update, Lancashire Police said,
