Celebrities usually get a lot of flack when photos emerge online, showing them parking in spaces reserved for the disabled. One car owner, though, simply shrugged it off – and driving the world's most expensive car probably had a lot to do with it.

The Bugatti Veyron costs approximately £840,000 ($1.3 million / €976,173.7) and, as such is one of the world's most expensive cars currently available.

As it happens, it's also the fastest, being able to go from 0 to 60mph in 2.5 seconds. Useless to say, it takes a certain type of driver to master such a beast.

Said driver presumably doesn't care about signs, even if they're destined for parking for the disabled, the Daily Mail points out.

One driver parked his Bugatti in Buckhurst Hill, the other day. The are is popular with today's hottest reality stars in the UK, the tab further notes.

Since such a magnificent car is not a sight one gets to enjoy on a daily basis, passers-by started gathering to admire it. Of course, some took out their camera phones to immortalize the moment.

Only one cop wasn't impressed, the British publication says.

“A traffic warden alerted to the vehicle by the knot of impressed shoppers was not prepared to let the loaded driver get away with his selfish behavior,” the Mail writes.

“As fascinated bystanders posed with the high-performance car, the warden filled in a ticket for a fine and placed it on the shining windscreen – which was not displaying a disabled badge,” notes the tab.

The driver returned shortly after, but was not at all impressed with the fine.

“The returning owner – an expensively dressed man in his early 40s – looked unconcerned at the ticket, according to witnesses,” the Mail says.

“He slid into the luxurious leather seats and accelerated away – an attention-grabbing sight in a state-of-the-art Veyron, since it is the fastest car on earth,” the publication further informs.

Photos of the car are here.
