Aussies Rule: Bridal Car Confiscated For Drag Racing!

What a way to kick off your new life; a newlywed Australian couple was stopped by an unmarked police car a little after they left the reception as their chauffeur was drag racing a P-plate driver at 130km/h (80 mph) in a 60km/h (37 mph) speed zone. John Tauranga, 21, and his bride Laina, 20, were left marooned along NSW's Great Western Highway at about 9pm on Saturday as the police arrested the 42 year-old chauffeur and confiscated his hire car and licence! Of course they also did the same to the 17-year-old Erskine Park teenager who was driving the other car.

The bride’s mother, Bernadine McCull, accidentally saw her daughter and her husband stranded on the highway as she was driving past to go home. "We were on our way home from the reception and I saw a woman in a long bridal gown walking up the road, holding up her dress," Mrs McCully said yesterday. "I said, 'My goodness, there must be a lot of weddings on today' and then I realised, that's our daughter. We thought they had been in an accident," she said. "The police said, 'We've just confiscated your limousine – it was driving dangerously'."
