TODAY Show weatherman Stevie Jacobs pulled over for RBT in luxury Ferrari

TODAY Show weather reporter Stevie Jacobs had a Ferrari joyride cut short as police pulled his $871,000 vehicle over just after he turned onto the road.

Jacobs was reporting from a Ferrari festival in Brisbane and jumped at the chance to drive one of the luxury cars on display.

"Four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, corners like it's on rails," he said during a live cross.

"And at $871,000, I hope it's insured.

"I'm going to drive it like it's stolen!"

Jacobs's last joke had an unfortunate karmic repercussion as he soon found himself pulled over by a Road Policing Command vehicle for a random breath test.

He of course blew an all-clear, but the coincidence amused Deb Knight and her fellow TODAY Show hosts in the studio, who noticed the police vehicle behind Jacobs as he drove away.
