Why police seized more than 60 supercars worth $7.7 million in London

London’s Metropolitan Police isn’t cool with supercars and their owners driving their rides fast and noisily on public roads, so they seized a bunch of them worth $7.7 million last week for that completely justifiable reason.

Police departments do not want to see even a hint of ‘antisocial driving’ on public roads, so the police worked together with Westminster City Council (WCC) to execute this crackdown.

The police don’t want anti-social supercars on the roads

Last week, the Westminster City Council sent out a press release informing the citizens of the UK that they seized over 60 supercars from the roads of Central London.

These included high-performance cars from Ferraris to Lamborghinis — all in one massive crackdown.

If you’re wondering, there was a Ferrari Purosangue, Lamborghini Urus, a few McLarens, and even a Rolls-Royce.

But what made the authorities initiate such a large confiscation event?

You see, the problem wasn’t with the supercars but with their drivers.

After following a series of complaints from residents, Westminster City Council collaborated with the Met Police to teach a lesson to what they called ‘wannabe racers.’

What this means is that if London residents want to make their very-fast cars go fast, they should do it on the track.

The streets don’t want anti-social driving

London streets remain crowded even at night, and residents are not happy with hearing roaring engine sounds.

The authorities deemed the entire problem as ‘anti-social driving,’ which basically translates to sprints, drag races, stunts, and even excessive revving.

“People who think it is OK to use our roads as their own private racetrack late at night are not welcome in Westminster,” a Cabinet Member for City Management at the WCC said.

He added, “We will continue to work alongside the police and other local authorities to make sure the racing stays on the racetrack and not on our streets.” 

On the topic of loud engine sounds, authorities also seized another $250,000 supercar because of excessive revving.

The bottom line is that London streets are obviously not the right place to perform ‘anti-social driving’ — and that you should visit a track to fully experience the true power of your supercar, not public roads.

Come on, nobody wants to be ‘that guy’ do they?
