In a recent post we clarified the law on the correct display of number plates. Having watched a recent episode of the BBC television programme Traffic Cops, it seems poplar celebrity Jordan, a.k.a. Katie Price hasn't yet found time to read the information.
In the programme we saw Katie being pulled over by traffic cops for the incorrect display of her personal number plate and also as the vehicle was flagged as being not insured. Later checks showed the vehicle was actually insured, however the number plate was clearly mis-spaced.
The actual vehicle registration is BO55 YKT. To get the desired effect is had been misrepresented as BO55Y KT, bossy Katie if you hadn't managed to work it out. Like many other motorists Katie risks being fined and having her personal number plate confiscated if she continues to display her number plate illegally.
She explained to the traffic cops that she had now obtained a legal set of number plates for her vehicle having previously been pulled over for the same offence. Unfortunately for Katie her brother had not yet got round to fixing the new plates onto the car for her. Poor Katie.
The law is clear and it applies to celebrities as well as everyone else. Display your personalised number plates correctly and you won't attract the wrong kind of attention from the traffic cops.
