Police said that they had been told the car had earlier been driven around Sussex with a different registration plate.

The BMW and the number plate were seized under Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act, which gives police the power to obtain names and addresses of drivers and others, and to require evidence of insurance and test certificates.

A picture posted on Twitter by officers shows the BMW on the hard shoulder of the motorway surrounded by three police cars.
