How do they track this? If I had one of these cars and avoided all ERP gantries, is it just up to manual enforcement?
Also, the pictured Mini has a license plate of XX####, so I take it the owner has had the car for a while then?
yes, the plate is probably original to that car and it was not a recent import. some of the plates are even original... you can usually tell from the "hammered by hand" look they exude...
i'm not 100% sure if the vehicle was transferred (sold) WITH the same plate to a new owner, that the alphabet will be suffixed. i don't think so. i believe it's only for transfer of plate to a different vehicle. i'll have to ask my friends to be sure.
as for the enforcement... it is not mandatory for cars to have erp devices so they can't track it properly via the device.
my wife often asks how do the authorities enforce weekend cars being driven without a day license.
i think the old monkey may have a super computer in his basement doing the scut work. THEY ARE EVERY WHERE AND KNOW EVERY THING...
okay, i think LTA enforcement officers (parking wardens) and LTA patrol officers (the ones that look and behave like traffic cops but are just jerks on 2 wheels) just need to note it down and enter it into the system in bulk a few days later to see if the elicense has been applied for (24 hour grace period or soemthing).
