Description

Ghost and cloned plates: A growing threat on our roads - A new report uncovers a worrying trend of vehicle number plate misuse, with one in fifteen vehicles potentially using plates designed to evade detection. This includes ghost plates with reflective coatings and cloned plates illegally copied from other vehicles. The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Transport Safety recommends reducing the number of licensed number plate sellers and standardizing plate designs to combat this issue. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency confirms strict laws are in place for number plate suppliers and buyers, with potential penalties of up to two years in prison for those caught with illegal plates.
