New camera technology has revealed thousands of vehicles on British roads carrying illegal 'ghost' plates, which are altered or obscured number plates designed to evade detection by traffic cameras. The findings raise concerns about enforcement, as such plates can be used to avoid speeding fines, congestion charges, or by stolen vehicles. Police and licensing authorities are expected to face pressure to act on the scale of the problem.
Why now: The scale of ghost plate use newly revealed by camera enforcement is alarming to drivers and authorities concerned with road law compliance.
