Yes, it might work ... Until the time ...
It is not a camera that catches you speeding, but a policeman. Or you
happen to choose a numberplate that is flagged on the PNC for
something that will get you stopped by the next police car you come
across. Or the numberplate of a vehicle that has been SORNed. Or you
have an accident to which the police are called. In which case your
registration number *will* be checked. And then, as the cell door
closes, you'll be wishing that your only troubles were getting a
speeding ticket ...
In any case, I don't see how that site will help you to find a
numberplate that matches a particular model and colour of car. You'd
be better to walk around a supermarket car park on a Saturday morning
to find a suitable match.
