100milesaway Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 I have an elderly neighbour who is visited4 or 5 times a week by a black young lady wearing a tabbard complete with hospital type outfit. Sometimes a black man wearing similar attire accompanies her and in the main waits or sometimes drives off in the car. In the main she drives the car. The car is a silver Honda jazz and the number plate is MN05EMF. Whilst on the DVL site on another matter I put this number into their site and received the following *we have no details of this vehicle*. I contacted the DVL to report this and was fobbed off and they would not tell me what the message meant and asked me where fraud came into it.I am unable to ask the old lady who they work for as I don't want to alarm her. Any ideas what to do next. From Auntie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Quote Gordon I believe now you need a log book to get a set of plates made legally . We have a decent sized 4 wheel box trailer for the off road bikes and have had a number of them over the years. This involved a fair number of towing vehicles. Each time we have taken a log book and utility bill to the local spares shop. However, one of my staff had a number plate with dodgy spacing on his wife's car. Just got it off the internet.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 I wonder how long it has been driving around with the first two letters in the wrong order? Did the person making the plates suffer from dyslexia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100milesaway Posted February 25 Author Report Share Posted February 25 Yes, my main concerns are for my neighbour. I am told that the naughty latest activity is in the care sector contracting out to fake social services and we all know where that ends up 19 minutes ago, johnphilip said: Is that registration not 20 years old ??

39TDS Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 I ran a vehicle with the wrong plates from 2009 until last year, nobody cares and nobody notices. In my case it was since new and presumably the dealer mixed up the two plates. It did explain why my insurance contacted me regarding an accident I had been involved with that I knew nothing about. It all came to light when I produced my logbook to buy a replacement plate that I broke. Until then my plates were for a different make and model and different colour. I’m guessing the owner of the other vehicle was equally unaware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agriv8 Posted Tuesday at 19:45 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 19:45 (edited) Driven a hire car for 3 days with different plate on front and back .i Only noticed when handing it back in and when asked the number plate of the car I had hired . I was told that it was not on the database. From memory a new car with two similar letters the wrong way round Driven a 7 1/2 ton hire wagon from Aberdeen to Yorkshire with no rear number plate called as soon as I reached destination as only stopped for for a piddle and was told that original one had been stolen and the new one was still on mechanics tool box ! one way hire and no issues dropping it off the day after. agriv8 Edited Tuesday at 19:46 by Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryman Posted Tuesday at 20:55 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 20:55 The careers will probably be from Zimbabwe, I could say so much on this from experience but as we are all aware free speech is not an option, let Plod know but don’t expect much back.

It's where a lot of the false number plates are obtained by people up to no good. No checks, it's not legal but, as usual, nobody appears to be doing anything about it. The clue is no small makers name on the plate. Edited Tuesday at 21:36 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wylye Posted Wednesday at 11:59 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:59 I ran a company Sierra for a year with a different plate on the front and rear. Only came to light when it was serviced. I hadn't noticed to be honest as I hated the thing. No ANPR in those days, which would have picked it up I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were but they are changed and are now as the plates have the first 2 letters reversed, but the drivers had been on their feet for the last 4 days. Nothing I have done but I can say it was nothing to do with me. Maybe they were picked up on an Arp but at least it looks legitimate now..Thanks for all suggestions and I am glad I didn't get involved.. From Auntie.

wymberley Posted Thursday at 13:53 Report Share Posted Thursday at 13:53 All's well that ends well. But there's nothing new in this. My plates were cloned over 40 years ago and I only found out when the postman delivered the summons - twice. Fortunately, I was filling a digital post in the RAF and could easily show that it could not have been me as my actual location could be proved without any shadow of doubt on each occasion.
