A lime green Lamborghini turned heads on the M42 in the West Midlands after police pulled it over, highlighting the ongoing scrutiny of luxury vehicles on UK roads.
The £250,000 supercar was stopped by West Midlands Police after officers noticed it was missing a front registration plate and further checks revealed the vehicle did not have a valid MOT, both of which are legal requirements for any car operating on public highways in the UK.
The scene, captured in a photograph, showed the striking Lamborghini parked alongside a marked police vehicle, drawing attention from passing motorists and reinforcing the visibility of law enforcement on major routes.
West Midlands Police confirmed, “D-Unit #ANPRInterceptors sighted this #Lamborghini on the M42 without a front registration plate,” and added, “Upon further inspection the vehicle did not hold a valid MOT.
Driver reported.” In the UK, failure to display a front number plate or to maintain a valid MOT certificate can each result in fines of up to £1,000, and police forces nationwide have stepped up efforts to ensure compliance, especially among high-profile vehicles that often attract public interest and scrutiny.
According to the Department for Transport, MOT compliance is crucial for road safety, with government statistics indicating that vehicles without a valid MOT are more likely to be involved in accidents due to undetected mechanical faults.
The incident comes at a time when police forces across Europe have occasionally used or seized supercars, both as deterrents and as operational tools, with the Italian police famously running a Lamborghini Gallardo in the past.
In the UK, the use of high-performance police vehicles has sparked debate, with some experts suggesting that while they may serve as a deterrent, the primary focus remains on ensuring all drivers, regardless of the car’s value, adhere to road safety laws.
The West Midlands Police’s visible enforcement action underscores the message that even the most exclusive cars are not exempt from the basic legal standards set for all motorists.
