The driver of a supercar was hit with a £100 while flaunting his vehicle in Manchester city centre. GMP traffic cops slapped it with the penalty for not having a front number plate.
The orange McLaren was clocked by officers on Deansgate. The move was welcomed by city centre champion and Manchester councillor, Pat Karney, who said in response on social media: "Excellent work. We are overrun with these boy racers on Deansgate and Peter St."
One member of the public responded to GMP Traffic by tweeting: "Many (most?) cars like theses are hire cars, taken out for a day or two by folk for show-off photo sessions: ie 'look how successful I am, even though I can hardly afford to hire this car, forget buying'.
