This is what happens when you dick around with your number plate
You can’t get anything passed the police these days.
We stopped this driver earlier as PEN15 TWAT wasn’t showing on the PNC.
We managed to identify the vehicle and driver and can firm that his attitude matched the VRN. pic.twitter.com/3S3wYlL2Rf

It's on the dvla and insurance database so everyone can now check the MOT history and with a 10p mobile vehicle check trace the owner to his house to offer to buy the number plate. Is it really a good idea to put people's VRMs on twitter ?!

Except …
I’m not the police, just a parody account. “We” didn’t really stop the van or even see it, and the photo was nicked from Facebook. Slightly concerned at your stalker abilities Tell us more about this 10p check.

Where's Sandford then? Other than on promotion exam publications?
