Cardboard number plates can’t fool police, as a 30-year-old Benarkin North woman has learned.
Kingaroy police spotted a Holden sedan on Rogers Drive in the early hours of last Wednesday allegedly sporting a homemade cardboard registration plate.
“Inquiries not surprisingly revealed the vehicle was unregistered,” Officer-in-Charge of Kingaroy Police, Senior Sergeant Dave Tierney said.
“The woman also failed to have red P plates displayed.”
The woman will appear in Kingaroy Magistrates Court on July 6 charged with driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle, displaying false plates and failing to display red P plates.
Her vehicle was also impounded and police will be seeking its forfeiture under anti-hooning legislation.
