Request 1
Motorists who display an illegal number plate or an obscured plate can be issued with a Traffic Offence Report (TOR) or a Vehicle Defect Rectification Scheme (VDRS) notice, means they escape a penalty if the fault is fixed within 14 days. Beyond this, if a second offence is caught they could have their number plates revoked.
I would like to know how many traffic offence reports NI Police have made between 1 January 2020 and 8 June 2023 regarding illegal or obscured number plates.
Request 2
How many times those reports were made to a single vehicle - which could result in the number plate being rescinded.
