A Lamborghini speeding down Douglas Street in Victoria on Friday night caught the eye of a VicPD patrol officer who spotted flames shooting from the vehicle’s exhaust pipes.
Upon pulling over the supercar, the officer discovered the driver to be impaired by alcohol and immediately had the vehicle impounded for 30 days. Under the Motor Vehicle Act, a vehicle is impounded when a driver fails a breathalyzer test.
