Midlands police to crack down on illegal car registration plates

Motorists in the Midlands have been warned to ensure that their vehicle's registration plates are legal, or face a fine of up to £1,000.

From Monday November 7, officers from the Central Motorway Patrol Group will begin a week-long crackdown on the illegal plates, and will be issuing on-the-spot fines to anyone with plates displaying numbers and letters that have been altered, re-arranged, obscured or are difficult to read.
