The Lamborghini Aventador was seized by police in Newham after it was found that the driver’s policy did not cover him to get behind the wheel. Police were initially alerted to the vehicle after it was caught with its front number plate missing.

The car was one of 180 seized last Tuesday as part of operation Cubo, designed to crackdown on uninsured vehicles. 37 people were also arrested on the same day for offences including drink-driving, robbery and driving without insurance.

A survey by Best of the Best found that two-thirds of drivers opted for a sunroof as an optional extra when buying a new car ahead of satellite navigation.

Satellite navigation did, however, come in at a close second with head-up display and parking sensors also making the top five. Digital TV came in fourth place with a high-end audio system seventh.

A police crackdown has caught two drivers using their iPads behind the wheel. The operation, in Hampshire and Thames Valley, identified a string of offences committed by drivers, adding up to a total of almost two-hundred motoring misdemeanours.

These indiscretions included over half of those caught using their mobile phones behind the wheel, as well as many committing other more unusual felonies.

Some of these included drivers having a shave or applying make-up in order to save time during their commute, or even brushing their teeth with a bottle of water!

Each driver of the 198 identified to be breaking the law will receive a £100 fine, as well as three points on their driving license.

Safe driving from Britannia!

Customers are being given the chance to pay for their spaces using conkers by a group of car parks in Leeds and Manchester in a bid to help the environment and bring back childhood memories. The conkers are equivalent to 20 pence each, requiring customers to use as many as 20 conkers at a time.

Each collected conker will then be used to sponsor a forest in the UK to help offset rising levels of omission from vehicles.

A significant flaw in tech giant Apples Map app has caused controversy by leading drivers to enter an Alaskan airport runway – when it was supposed to direct them to the car park.

Fairbanks International Airport has experienced two separate incidents of motorists entering the restricted runway, leading to obvious potential danger for both the car passengers and airport staff and aeroplane passengers.

The motoring mishap was caused by the map directing its users along the airport taxiway, leading to drivers mounting the runway and causing panic to onlookers.

Apple has issued an apology for the error, and replaced the faulty map with an error message until the issue is resolved.

Figures published today for road casualties in 2012 show a 25 per cent increase in deaths involving drink driving since 2011. This has prompted calls for the introduction of random breath tests and a lower drink-drive limit by road safety groups.

Under the current system, the police can stop any driver for any reason, but they cannot require a breath test without a suspicion that the driver has consumed alcohol, or has committed a traffic offence or been involved in an accident.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents have called on the Government to lower the legal limit from 80mg of alcohol per 100ml to 50mg per 100ml blood with the head of road safety Kevin Clinton highlighting the this lower limit will save many lives each year and that effective enforcement of the law is essential.
