Overview

• Bankstown Highway Patrol officers intercepted a Hyundai Veloster on July 4 after spotting duct-taped cardboard number plates in Revesby, NSW.
• The 32-year-old driver’s licence had been suspended and her real plates seized earlier this year for exceeding the speed limit by over 45 km/h.
• Authorities issued a court attendance notice listing four offences: driving while suspended, operating during plate confiscation, tampering with a confiscation notice and using a misleading plate.
• Under NSW law, unauthorised or misleading number plates carry three demerit points and fines ranging from $562 to $844.
• The driver told officers she made the fake plates to visit a friend and now awaits her first court appearance.
