I know people acting like their car doesn’t drive down the street or park outside their house, congratulations now they know what you drive, were you live and it wouldn’t take much effort to find out who you are all without the use of the internet
Probably they will see how old the vehicle is, which an ‘influencer’ would want to hide, or that it’s a base model that they de/up badged.If you pay for a service like car vertical, you might also see that it’s a rental / leased rather than theirs
Clone the plates at most I guess
Or report it stolen or driving bad with plate number

Yeah the big one is clone your plates
Yes.
Then report you because you’re uninsured.
Right? It’s like people think the whole world is out here checking MOTs and taxes
You laugh but no way is any mf gonna check my MOT ya get me? Box clever me.
As someone who used to drive ringers for years and never got caught. Please cover your number plates ☺️
Someone claimed that it would prevent license plate copying, but in all honesty, it merely makes it more difficult to view a car’s mot history and other details. Since there are so many other automobiles available, I will not bother asking the owner.
Clearly not from brum if they don’t know about cloning 😄
Yes. I worked with a guy who bragged about doing this
Wow. PSA don’t post your reg online. Even if chances are slim to have something bad happen the cost to obscure the plate is zero so your be a fucking fool not to.
You’ll get your plates cloned or you could end up being stalked by someone.
Whenever I see a car with **UK** plates in a film, I check on them at the **DVLA** website. You would be surprised that a lot of them are the actual registration plates, and not some dummy or random numbered plate.
Just don’t Google KIA license plate hack I guess?
Why some people, like you, put their entire name on the internet?

Stalkers will look out for the car if they have enough other information and follow you home
Jealous people will damage your car
Check out any post on r/cartalkuk they absolutely do
Probably avoids the vehicle being used for fake car sale ads at a guess and stops cloned plates.
You have CAT B vehicle you buy for pennies. You fix it up. You find very similar legitimate vehicle on Instagram. Clone license plates, attach to you vehicle. Now your vehicle shows as legitimate.
You could do it with stolen cars but stolen cars tend to go to chop shops or exported.
It’s possible (with a legit sounding reason, eg. an accident scene you left, trespassing, or some other access to DVLA data, like a bribed employee) to get the full name and address of the owner from the plate. You think criminals aren’t capable of getting access to that information in order to steal your car? Of course they are. It’s like most things – taking precautions is just common sense.
