Police boxed the car in on the exit slip road at J11 and the driver was subsequently arrested after police reportedly discovered him to be drunk.
According to the police, the driver thought he was 'less drunk than the owner who was also in the car and was a safer bet to drive than their friend was'.
The driver 'blew over the drink-drive limit in custody', according to the police.
