Cloned Number Plates: What to Do if You Get Fines for Journeys You Did Not Make

A speeding fine or parking ticket arrives for a place you have never been. One possible reason is that criminals have “cloned” your number plate by putting copies on another car of the same type. This course explains the warning signs, the exact steps GOV.UK sets out for reporting cloned plates and appealing wrong fines, and simple ways to make your plates harder to steal or copy.
