A London driver says criminals cloned the number plate of her VW Golf and she later received multiple traffic penalty notices. According to one report, she was sent 32 separate fines, totalling about £2,800, each issued at £90.
The notices are described as coming from seven different local authorities, with the driver trying to resolve the matter through the appeals process. The article focuses on how the situation escalates when she attempts to challenge the charges, implying difficulties in getting the fines cancelled after the alleged plate cloning.
Other coverage highlights the broader context of number-plate cloning in the UK, which can lead to drivers being wrongly identified by automated enforcement systems and facing penalties from different jurisdictions. Taken together, the reports center on the same core claim: that a cloned registration triggers repeated enforcement notices across councils before a driver can get them corrected.
