Four teenagers had to be removed from the side of a motorway as they tried to make a social media video.
The youths, whose ages were not given, were met with “stern words of wisdom” in the incident on Bank Holiday Monday.
Police and traffic officers attended the scene at the M1 near Barnsley in South Yorkshire.
