The team warned any drivers found to be in violation “could have their number plates seized and be reported with a penalty of £100 fine”.

“This is a polite reminder to ensure your vehicle registration plate is conforming to regulations.

“If it does not then please contact your number plate supplier who will make you a new set, you will need to show your log book and identification to have the plates made.”
