Ghost Plates Under Fire | Leeds News

Ghost number plates are back in the spotlight as new laws aim to crack down on drivers who alter or clone plates to evade speed cameras and tolls. Police could now seize vehicles on the spot—like with uninsured cars—and offenders may face up to six penalty points, risking license loss for new drivers. With up to 1 in 15 cars potentially using invisible plates (often bought for just a few bucks online), enforcement is becoming harder, putting public safety and fair road funding at risk. Lawmakers and the number plate industry are pushing for tougher penalties, AI detection, and mandatory flat plates to eliminate the “ghost” effect. The goal? Protect the law-abiding and restore order to the roads. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
