A Kentucky motorist was caught while driving with a DIY hand-drawn number plate.
Millersburg Police Department posted a photo of a home-made plate found during a traffic stop on September 2.
The plate was drawn on white paper with markers and made to look like the real thing – although as officers pointed out, lacked the registration sticker.
After further investigation, it was revealed the driver of the vehicle had no insurance and was driving on a suspended licence.
