A couple had been illegally riding their motorbike on expressways for four days until they were stopped by traffic police in Changsha, capital of Hunan province, last Tuesday.

The couple from Guizhou province were forced to leave the expressway from a nearby road toll after being lectured by police.

The migrant workers said they were en route to their workplace in Zhejiang province and were trying to save travel expenses by hitting the road themselves.

According to relevant Chinese traffic rules, motorbikes are banned on expressways.
