Want to drive exceedingly fast without impunity? Want to drive into town even though you haven’t paid the congestion road tax now being charged? Not a problem.
At least for a few enterprising souls who found a way to bypass the system.
Saw this on the news the other night on Sky News (British TV)
First assuming you drive a normal non-descript European car, just look around and find another car just like yours, jot down the license plate number and then go home and manufacture a replica of that plate. Install plate and drive as though you stole it, since a lot of the ‘Bobbie work’ is done with cameras not Bobbies.
Depending upon how brave you feel or how many times you break the law you may need to repeat the process and make more plates
Of course this only works in countries were the majority of violates are ‘found’ using cameras and were the plates look like they came from a hobby shop (no offense made to any UK board members).
Evidently, there are enough of these cases going around that Sky aired the subject and Scotland Yard has been busy attempting to coral the perpetrators.
