REVscene Automotive Forum - Uninsured West Vancouver Lamborghini driver moans about size of $568 fine

Quote:

The young driver of a $430,000 Lamborghini was scandalized when he was handed a $568 ticket.

The hard-done-by West Vancouver 22-year-old apparently couldn’t find the dough to pay his car insurance — and then hotly disputed the fine for not having his affairs in order.

“When the police officer stopped the driver, he soon realized that the car was not insured,” said Cpl. Robert McDonald, spokesman for the RCMP’s Lower Mainland District Traffic Services.

“When the officer gave the driver a $568 fine for not having insurance, the driver actually complained the fine was too much money.”

The top-of-the-line 2012 Lamborghini Aventador was pulled over initially in Richmond for what is often a vanity infraction — high-end drivers don’t want to mess up their vehicle’s pretty noses with an ugly licence plate.

Since it wasn’t insured, the Lamborghini was towed away, and the driver will have to decide whether he can find enough cash to pay the ticket.
