Driver failed to fool police with hand-drawn license plate

A Kentucky driver’s DIY license plate didn’t quite fool the police.

Millersburg Police Department officers conducted a traffic stop on September 2 after spotting a license plate that seemed a bit out of place, officials said.

From a distance, the homemade license plate looked somewhat like the real deal. Although marker strokes are visible, its numbers and letters are well-drawn and resemble the state plate.

But the tag was missing one key detail — the registration sticker.

After further investigation, police determined that the vehicle driver had no insurance and was driving with a suspended license.

Police offered some sound advice for any drivers looking to test their drawing skills on their Facebook page.

“Pro Tip: Don’t forget to draw the registration sticker.”

Surprisingly this isn’t the first time a driver has pulled this stunt. Last year, in California, a driver also tried to get away with a homemade license plate.

Not only were the plate’s numbers crooked and different sizes, but the state’s name was misspelled. The plate said “CALIFAS,” which is Spanish slang for California.
