    Same as people posting on social media etc it’s cos they worry about people cloning the number

    Liability of broadcaster. Same with private phone numbers. That’s why fictional numbers are used, everything began 555 on old American stuff. :)

    There's a bright blue Land Rover I see around Wakefield with the number plate CGI which doesn't show up on any online searches - DVLA/carveto.co.uk.

    Very weird.

    I’ve seen it a few times recently.. mainly around the City centre and Bradford / Leeds Road to the north.
    You’d expect that sort of plate to be on a more expensive car as it seems to be a smaller type of Land Rover so surely, the plate would be worth more than the vehicle

    My son was convinced it was following him as he always sees is when he's walking around Wakefield, and I've seen it seemingly just driving around in a loop in Wakefield, very GTA vibes.
