A woman is set to appear in court after being stopped by police while driving a Hyundai Veloster in Sydney’s Revesby, where she was found using cardboard cut-outs as number plates. The incident occurred around 11:30 PM on July 4, leading to a police investigation.
Officers shared details on social media, highlighting that the makeshift “licence plates” were affixed to the vehicle with duct tape. Upon further checks, it was discovered that the 32-year-old driver had previously had her driving licence suspended for exceeding the speed limit by over 45 km/h, an infraction that had resulted in the confiscation of her legitimate plates for three months.
During questioning, the woman claimed that she created the cardboard plates so she could drive to visit a friend. As a result of her actions, she has been issued a court attendance notice for several driving and vehicle-related offences.
