Vehicle Registration Marks (Misuse and Offences) Bill - BBC Surrey
Surrey Heath MP's Bill to tackle number plate cloning gets covered by BBC Surrey
Camberley resident Sue Whitehead described having her number plate cloned as “one of the most stressful experiences I have ever been through,” after receiving hundreds of pounds in fines for a car she never drove.
Mrs Whitehead’s ordeal, which involved months of appeals and wrongful penalties, highlights a growing problem as criminals exploit loopholes in the system.
In response, Surrey Heath MP Dr Al Pinkerton has introduced the Vehicle Registration Marks (Misuse and Offences) Bill to Parliament. The bill seeks to close legal gaps, strengthen enforcement, and stop innocent drivers from facing fines and hardship due to number plate cloning.
