Brazen Lamborghini driver pulled over 'on his wedding day' makes bold plea to police

A driver who was seen speeding along the streets in a mega money car made a very surprising request after being pulled over - but he still found himself in hot water

A reckless Lamborghini driver pulled over before being caught without insurance begged police to turn a blind eye because it was his "wedding day".

The motorist was seen speeding along the streets of Bury, greater Manchester, in the bright green vehicle this weekend. Four reports were called in by concerned locals, and eventually the officers were able to track him down.

Greater Manchester Police brought the six-figure car to a halt and carried out their routine checks at the side of the road. It was soon discovered that the man behind the wheel was driving the luxury sports car without valid insurance.

When questioned about it, he reportedly asked the officers if they could let him off. GMP says the man claimed was his 'wedding day' as he made the request to carry on - but the officers weren't won over by his argument. They seized the luminous Lamborghini and the owner is now facing prosecution.

Sharing on X, a GMP Traffic spokesperson said: "Four reports of this Lamborghini speeding in Bury. When stopped, driver couldn't prove valid insurance, but asked to be let off as its his wedding day. We had no confetti on hand, so we improvised and threw six points at the would-be groom instead. Car seized."

Earlier this year a Lamborghini sporting 'L' plates was spotted in Liverpool, leaving people questioning how much the insurance would be. Reddit users took to the social network to comment on the odd sight as they wondered who could afford to make their first car a luxury sports vehicle.

One wrote: "I wonder how much an hours lesson in one of those would cost!!" while another chimed in: "Imagine the insurance!" Meanwhile another dubbed the flash Italian vehicle a "Learnerborghini" adding the "L is obviously for Lamborghini" and not "learner".

Users also spotted the car behind was hot on the heels of the learner driver. One user wrote: "Still another car sitting up its a**e at the lights." But while many people thought the car might belong to the lucky child of an "international billionaire", it appeared to be a stunt by a local driving school.

Clearview Driving recently took to YouTube with a call-out for newbie drivers, who could "learn to drive a lambo". The video showed off the car's exterior as instructor Aman Sanghera said: "Got a new upgrade for the learners, let's get in." Whether the car will actually be used for driving lessons was not made clear in the video.

Users suggested this L-plated car could be gearing up to feature in another promotional reel. "Considering the camera on the roof and the foreign plate, maybe it's a joke / they're filming something. Fun sight anyway," said one. Another suggested it was "a Lamborghini press car" used to promote the vehicle and would not in fact be used by those preparing for their driving test.
