Drivers are using ‘ghost’ numbers plates to make ‘invisible’ to the law

Certain plates are illegible by speed and ANPR cameras, but some argue that fines for being trapped are not serious enough

Dangerous drivers are using “ghosts” or “stealthy” plates that cannot be read due to speed and ANPR cameras, which makes their cars “invisible” to the law. These plates help them dodge fines for speeding, run red lights and other risked driving.

A West Midlands deputy is asking for harder sanctions for those with these difficult plates. Currently, criminals only obtain a fine of £ 100 without points in their license, unlike sprinters who face stricter punishments, Birmingham Live information.

The key concern is that altering the plates could be more common than I initially thought, which leads to dangerous driving and costs for innocent conductors hit by cars with false plates that do not appear in the insurance records. The deputy of West Bromwich, Sarah Coombes, speaking in Parliament, wants stronger measures against false plates.

She said: “This is a serious criminal problem. And at this time, the sanctions for covering its registration or changing it in some way is less than what it would get a speeding ticket.

“I know that most drivers in West Brom are just trying to work or leave their children at school. They are safe and careful drivers.”

“But there is a select minority of people who think they are above the law.”

The politician declared: “They think that when using a ghost plaque they can get yours with red lights, drunk, ignore speed limits and much worse.”

In addition, he added: “It cannot be correct that these drivers are not trapped by the police for creating so much danger on our roads. Punishments must be tougher.”

Mrs. Coombes said: “ANPR and the humble registration are wired security wired on the United Kingdom.”

She added: “If people think, to the medical their plates, they can accelerate, driving without due care or without insurance to evade prosecution, then we need to eliminate this temptation. Innocent members of the public are at risk.”
