We've long supported the campaign by @SarahCoombesWB 👏to get the illegal trade in ghost/cloned plates stopped. Watch "Ghost Plates: Drivers Cheating the Law". Link in the post below. How many dangerous drivers are using these plates with impunity?
dr ian greenwood@ian_m_greenwoodSep 28
A system perfectly designed to get the results we get = ghost plates and illegality. Action from @transportgovuk @DVLAgovuk @PoliceChiefs is welcome . As usual a small % break the law and put the rest of us at risk. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq98… #VisionZero
