Numberplate cloning

Numberplate cloning occurs when two vehicles have the same numberplate.

An example would be If you drive a black Ford and a criminal also has a black Ford- by having a set of numberplates made or by stealing your set of numberplates and attaching them to his car- the criminal can ensure any motoring offences are directed at you- the registered owner of the vehicle- identified by the numberplate.

how can I protect myself from numberplate theft / numberplate cloning?

New technology such as secureplate and secure fixings will help to physically ensure your numberplates cannot be stolen. As for criminals simply having a set of plates made to match yours- it has been proven in a lot of cases that identifying features on the vehicle- such as window stickers or scratches- help to identify that although the plates are the same, the cars are different- so now's the time to get some groovy window stickers and be proud to stand out!
