Essex Police have seized 13 supercars, including Lamborghinis, a Ferrari and a Porsche, following reports of dangerous and anti-social driving on the M11 motorway.
Incident details
Police were called to the motorway at around 4.20pm on Tuesday after receiving multiple reports from concerned members of the public about a convoy of high-performance cars travelling northbound. Witnesses said the vehicles were accelerating at great speed before slowing down suddenly, with drivers allegedly braking heavily and disrupting traffic flow.
Drivers were also accused of bunching together and using the hard shoulder to undertake other road users, the force added.
Police action
Officers pulled over the vehicles at Junction 8 and issued 13 warnings for anti-social driving. Sergeant Will Willsher said: “The behaviour reported to us was not only anti-social but potentially placed other road users at serious risk, especially on a busy motorway during peak travel times. Roads Policing Unit officers acted quickly to locate the cars and take appropriate enforcement action. Speed limits are there to keep everyone safe and the law applies equally to all road users.”
A number of offences were identified for investigation and inquiries are ongoing. Anyone with information, video footage or dashcam recordings should contact Essex Police quoting incident 955 of July 28.
