A parade of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and other high-powered marques around Kensington and Chelsea has become a regular summertime sight in recent years. After a consultation with 1,000 residents of Kensington and Chelsea, the Metropolitan police have put in place measures to tackle “reckless and aggressive” driving and other petrol-powered antisocial behaviour. Insp Chris Downs, of Kensington and Chelsea community policing team, said: “We are using powers under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act in an innovative way in order to address the concerns of residents and visitors to Kensington and Chelsea. Those caught breaching the public space protection order face being directed away from the area covering Sloane Street, Sloane Square and parts of Brompton Road and the King’s Road. Supercar owners face being kicked out of some of London’s poshest areas or even having their motors seized if they are caught breaching the peace with noisy or dangerous driving.
