An angry woman was arrested in Zhejiang Province in eastern China after she deliberately ran 49 red lights in her ex-boyfriend's car, according to local media.
The woman, identified only as Lou, asked a man called Chen to rent her former partner's Audi, the state-run Global Times newspaper reported.
Chen then handed the car to another man called Zhu who, with Lou, used the car in a two-day marathon committing traffic offenses, the Global Times said.
Zhu and Lou also ran 49 red lights before they were stopped by the police, the newspaper added.
The car belonged to some known only as Qian who, according to the Global Times, had dated Lou before leaving her for another woman.
Following questioning by police, it was revealed that Lou had come up with the plan to rack up fines in a bid to spite her ex, the newspaper said.
Zhu, Lou's accomplice, was reportedly promised a date with Lou if he joined the four-wheeled revenge plot.
Zhu was also arrested, FR24 News reported.
