Soon to be Groom had no insurance for rented Lamborghini

[55palfers]

On his way to his wedding when stopped for speeding and Plod discover he is unable to prove he has insurance.

Car seized and potential 6 points plus fine.

Presumably it's rented, so why would you not get some insurance for such a "visible" car?

And why the renter didn't insist on seeing some proof of insurance.

Agreed. Amazing a rental company would alow their supercar to be driven without insurance.

At a wild guess it's one of the more "underground" rental businesses renting to family, extended and friends...

Or the driver might not be the renter.

True.

Or it might not be rented at all, not mentioned in the article, just an assumption.

The car was refused bail due to risk of flight.

There are companies that rent "Supercars" for weddings and other events that can be parked on the drive, sat in, but not driven. I can't see the point but there must be a demand for it. Suppose they leave the keys so that you can lock and unlock, temptation must have gotten the better of them.

One better than flowers I suppose.

I wonder if these rental companies do a lot of cash business?

I've never heard of that, but it strikes me that leaving the keys without immobilising the car would be bonkers.
