A driver asked police to ‘let him off’ as it was his wedding day after they found he had no insurance on a £200,000 Lamborghini.
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.”
