A Lamborghini driver has been reported by police after being caught driving without a front registration plate and no valid MOT on the M42 motorway.
The vehicle was spotted by D-Unit ANPR Interceptors, who shared the incident online with the caption: “All the gear, no brain!”
Upon stopping the luxury supercar for the missing plate, officers discovered that the high-end vehicle also lacked a valid MOT certificate, a basic legal requirement for roadworthiness in the UK.

The driver was immediately reported for multiple offences, including failing to display a number plate and driving a vehicle without a valid MOT. The incident serves as a stark reminder that even luxury vehicle owners are not above the law.
