Leicester traffic wardens catch another Lamborghini supercar being parked illegally

The traffic wardens of Leicester have caught yet another supercar driver who decided parking spaces didn't apply to him.

A yellow Lamborghini Aventador was decorated with a matching yellow £35 ticket after it was left outside the Hawthorn Building on the De Montfort University campus this afternoon.

Sajeed Sattar, who took these pictures, said the car had been parked on double yellows for more than half an hour when a Leicester City Council traffic warden happened by.

Londoner Sajeed, originally from Belgrave, was visiting his family and said he was excited to see the supercar but also got a kick out of seeing it getting ticketed.

He told the Leicester Mercury: "I had stopped to pray at the university because they have a prayer room that anyone can use. As soon as I see those kinds of cars I go crazy and when the guy was parking it up I was there, taking pictures before I went inside to pray. Then I came out at about 2.15pm just as the traffic warden came along."

The Lamborghini Aventador was launched as the famous carmaker's flagship model in 2011, and the basic model will cost you a hefty £260,000.

Sajeed, 33, who in an investment banker, said there was no doubt that the parking ticket was justified.

He said: "It was definitely a fair cop - it was right on the double yellow lines so he couldn't complain about getting a ticket. It's always nice to see someone with a car like that who parks illegally getting a ticket - not that it will probably bother them too much. I think the guy parked illegally because he didn't want to risk getting any scratches by going into a proper parking bay. I'd parked my car nearby in a proper parking space and paid my £1 but he obviously didn't mind being ticketed."
