Drivers face illegal number plate purge

by Conrad Murray — last modified 20-12-2007 06:48

Motorists in Cambridgeshire who use illegal number plates are being targeted by police as part of a crack down.

During December, police will be conducting checks on the county's roads issuing £30 Fixed Penalty Notices (FPN) and other penalties. Last month 78 motorists were issued FPNs for illegal number plates.

Sgt Simon Goldsmith said: "Over the next few weeks we will continue to conduct regular road checks to target vehicles with illegal number plates."

He added: "Not only is it an offence to display these plates but it also creates problems with vehicle identification."

The most common offences in relation to number plates are changing the font and spacing of the registration, said Cambridgeshire Police. Anyone caught displaying an illegal number plate more then twice could have the number revoked by the DVLA.

Sgt Goldsmith, of Cambridgeshire Police, added: "Motorists may think that their illegal number plate looks good but the fact is they are breaking the law. I would urge anyone who is currently driving around with an illegal number plate to replace it to avoid a fine."
