A man has been remanded in custody ahead of sentencing after a car was allegedly driven the wrong way on the M1.
Mohammed Malik, of Church Road, Altofts, pleaded guilty to driving without insurance and failing to provide a specimen when he appeared at Leeds Magistrates' Court on Monday.
The 34-year-old also indicated he would plead guilty to dangerous driving and possession of Class A drugs when he is sentenced at Leeds Crown Court on 11 August.
Malik was arrested on Friday following a police pursuit from Altofts to Stanley, back to Altofts and then the M62 and against the flow of traffic on the M1 northbound.
The car, a blue Audi A4, came to a stop on the hard shoulder near the Sharp Lane bridge after suffering a puncture.
