The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is warning restricted licence holders that they could face prosecution if they drive without displaying the correct plates.
Restricted licence holders are those who have been disqualified from driving for a period of time but have been allowed to drive again under certain conditions. These conditions may include displaying special number plates known as “RT” plates.
The DVLA has received reports of restricted licence holders driving without the correct plates. This is a serious offence and could result in prosecution.
A spokesperson for the DVLA said: “It is important that restricted licence holders understand the conditions of their licence and comply with them. Driving without the correct plates is a serious offence and could result in prosecution.”
Restricted licence holders should make sure that they display the correct plates on their vehicle at all times. The plates should be clearly visible and legible.
If you are unsure whether you need to display RT plates, you should contact the DVLA.
Additional Information:
- The Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 makes it an offence to drive a motor vehicle on a road without displaying the correct number plates.
- The penalty for driving without the correct number plates is a fine of up to £1,000 and/or imprisonment for up to six months.
- Restricted licence holders who are caught driving without the correct plates could also have their licence revoked.
