An allegedly speeding Lamborghini driver asked to be “let off as its his wedding day”, police say.

Officers say they received four reports about the green luxury car speeding around Bury before they reported stopping it on Saturday October 26.

They say that after being stopped the driver could not prove he had valid insurance but gave them as unusual excuse.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: “Four reports of this Lamborghini speeding in Bury.

“When stopped, the driver couldn't prove valid insurance but asked to be let off ‘as it’s his wedding day’.

“Greater Manchester Police Traffic had no confetti on hand, so we improvised and threw six points at the would be groom instead.”

Officers say that the car was then seized.

This comes amid long-running concerns about speeding and other kinds of anti-social driving on the roads across Greater Manchester in recent months and years.
