We can now add men of the law to mechanics and parking valets to the “people who have taken expensive vehicles out for a short drive” list.

The awkward adventure started late at night on June 2, when the driver of the Lamborghini Huracan, owned by London-based car rental company City Supercars, who was heading over to a wedding, was pulled over, near the Heathrow Airport.

The supercar was labeled as incorrectly insured, as the Telegraph informs, so naturally, the man grabbed his phone and called 32-year old Erwyn Mackee, the firm’s owner, after failing to convince the officers that the Italian exotic’s insurance was recently renewed and that it takes time to appear on the Motor Insurance Database, despite supplying them with email documents and invoices.

“The officer was just being unreasonable and out of hand on the phone to me, and I was just trying to explain the facts calmly. He was just off his head, completely bonkers – it was very frustrating. All the other officers I dealt with throughout the process were very reasonable and could understand basic logic“, Mackee said.

“As an officer who has the power to do lots of things, the officer must have reason and ability and common sense and intuition and be able to listen to arguments and respond accordingly. If he doesn’t have those qualities he shouldn’t be an officer.“

The two police officers then seized the Lamborghini Huracan and before taking it to the impound, they went for a joy ride, doing 63 mph (101 km/h) in a 30 mph (48 km/h) zone, as the tracker revealed.

Following the incident, Erwyn Mackee, who is also a lawyer, submitted a complaint to the Metropolitan Police, but the situation was eventually solved “amicably“.

“After becoming aware of the car owner’s concerns, an internal investigation was conducted. The police officer who drove the car was given three penalty points on his police driving record. A second officer was subjected to management action. We are in process of reimbursing the owner of the car the statutory £150 ($195) removal fee“, said a Met Police spokesman.
