🚗 **Crackdown Alert: Ghost Plates Under Fire! 🚨**
Speed demons and rule skippers, your days with “ghost plates” are numbered! A new drive from the government is setting its sights on the sneaky use of cloned or altered number plates—known as ghost plates—that allow drivers to slip past speed cameras and ANPR systems undetected.
With over 4,300 offenders caught red-handed in just two weeks in Birmingham alone, it’s clear this is a widespread issue. Such tactics not only let reckless drivers speed without fines but also aid criminal rings in staying under the radar.
Now, thanks to growing pressure from police and MPs, including the dedicated efforts of Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster and West Bromwich MP Sarah Coombes, a Parliamentary inquiry is stepping up to the plate. They’re calling for stricter laws and tougher penalties to put the brakes on these lawbreakers.
Simon Foster, a front-runner in this campaign, feels this is a pivotal win in making roads safer. “It’s about exposing offenders and keeping our roads safe,” he asserts. Meanwhile, Sarah Coombes is out front, demanding firm action: “We’re leading the charge against these illegal plates,” she says. “The time for change is now.”
So, say goodbye to the number plate wild west! 🚦 Let’s hit the brakes on ghost plates and keep UK roads safe for everyone. 🚓💨
