A LAMBORGHINI driver was pulled over for breaking two road rules in their £230,000 car.
However, the two laws broken by the £230,000 vehicle are quite hard to spot when you’re not looking hard enough.
Failure to follow road laws can see you being slapped with hefty finesGetty Images One unlucky driver was slapped with not one but two finesWMPWest Midlands Police (WMP) revealed that they pulled over the lime green Lamborghini Huracan for two major reasons.
The first was that they noticed the luxury car, which is worth £230,000 according to Auto Trader, did not possess a front registration plate.
They also noticed that the car did not hold a valid MOT.
Under UK law, all cars must have a front number plate and failure to do so can result in a hefty £1000 fine.
Not having a valid MOT can also result in a £1000 meaning this unlucky driver got slapped with a £2000 fine.
WMP Traffic took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal that the incident took place, posting: “D-Unit #ANPRInterceptors sighted this #Lamborghini on the M42 without a front registration plate.
“Upon further inspection the vehicle did not hold a valid MOT.
“Driver reported.”
Car manufacturers and dealers have often warned Brits about the more niche driving laws that we have in the UK.
One family in Essex discovered that their £22,000 vehicle had been repossessed suddenly as they had not paid a penalty charge notice.
Since the family were out of the country, they were unaware of the notice which steadily doubled before their car was eventually taken.
After the incident, motor experts urged drivers to be vigilant about following road laws and to ask neighbours to keep them up to date with any PCNs being slapped on their cars.
Costs for drivers have been rising too, with Mayor of London Sadiq Khan raising fines by £30.
The Mayor said that the hike in fines was intended to stop “anti-social and obstructive parking” which regularly plagues residential areas in London.
The money generated by the increase in fines will also be funnelled into road law enforcement costs.
Mayor Khan also introduced the Ultra Low Emission Zone which expanded to cover all London boroughs in 2023.
The scheme requires all vehicles that fail to comply with emission targets to pay a £12.50 charge every day.
Despite controversy around the choice, the ULEZ has led to a dramatic reduction in harmful air pollutants and has had direct health benefits for many Londoners including improved respiratory health.
Car number plate laws
Every UK car must have two clearly visible number plates.
This means that there must be one on the front and one on the back of your vehicle.
Failure to keep these plates clean, which can render them illegible, is also an offence.
Charges can be up to £1000 and several charges can be given at one time, if more than one law is broken.
They must also be written in the Charles Wright 2001 font and must be made of a reflective surface.
The front plate must be white and the back plate must be yellow, with both having writing in black.
Failure to have a marking indicating your number plate supplier is also an offence.
