Dodgy registration

Options
Seen a car that likes to tear it around on plates that don’t appear registered to any vehicle? And that in fact after speaking to a mate who knows them, is currently on different plates. Surely somethings wrong here since they are being allowed to do it for so long. Just thought to ask

    It'll get caught if it passes an ANPR camera, but you're best letting the police know as it's also pretty likely there's other stuff going on such as lack of insurance, mot, license and so on.

    Not if it doesn't relate to anything. The only way it'll get caught is manned equipment and they recognise it hasn't read or if a report is created against the none registration number.

    Yeah I think it might actually be lacking mot. Insurance is a very risky risk i’d say and same with a license. Only makes sense

    Yeah I’m not one to go out of my way to report but sooner or later someone would end up doing it due to the way the person drives

    I'd expect ANPR to be designed to flag up "this is not a valid registration" to the operator.
    I need to think of something new here...

    Watched a video from Rufford Ford the other day and a vehicle was stuck in the Ford when a RangeRover went
    blasting through causing the stricken vehicle to partially float towards the bridge.  Curiously I checked the reg
    number and it came back as unknown.

    Someone driving around on dodgy plates or was the video an older one where the car was scrapped or plate
    transferred since the video?

    Unless its a cloned plate, even better if its a similar model, ANPR wont pick that up

    Even if it's not a similar make and model unless someone is viewed the images there wouldn't be a hit if all was in order with the plate.

    Not much use if it's not real time
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
