 Reports of vehicle licence plate cloning have risen by a third in two years, new figures suggest.
Road safety charity IAM RoadSmart warned the increase is a result of “wider criminality” and is putting other road users at risk.
Responding to a written parliamentary question, transport minister Simon Lightwood said the public made 10,461 reports to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) last year in relation to “correspondence, fines or penalties” they have received about the use of vehicles they “do not recognise or accept responsibility for”.
That is up 33% from 7,837 in 2022.
