A driver who was pulled over by police for speeding made a cheeky request to the officers, who also found he was driving a £200,000 Lamborghini without insurance. The man asked police if they could “let him off”, explaining it was his “wedding day”, before his car was seized.
The soon-to-be groom was picked up by road traffic officers following four reports that the lime-green sports car had been speeding. They ran checks on the convertible vehicle – after stopping it in Bury, Greater Manchester – which showed it did not have any damage protection.
The man then tried to use his upcoming nuptials to plead with officers to spare him punishment. But Greater Manchester Police joked that as they had “no confetti on hand”, they ignored his request and “threw six penalty points” at him instead.
The officers also seized the vehicle. Writing on X, a spokesperson for the force said: “Four reports of this Lamborghini speeding in Bury.
“When stopped, driver couldn’t prove valid insurance, but asked to be let off as it’s his wedding day. Had no confetti on hand, so we improvised and threw six points at the would be groom instead. Car seized.”
