💨 Abstract

Illegal "ghost plates" are being used by criminals to evade detection, prompting calls for tougher penalties. Labour MP Sarah Coombes highlighted the severity of the issue, urging £1,000 fines and six penalty points. Current penalties are minimal, at just £100. Roads Minister Lilian Greenwood acknowledged the need for stronger measures and enforcement. Ghost plate kits are easily available online, often marketed as "show plates," and promoted on social media.
