Fake Number Plate Penalty: A shocking case of what methods people adopt to avoid traffic challan has come to light recently. In Hyderabad, the police caught a luxury car whose number plate could be changed just by pressing a button. After this matter has come to light, it has become clear that the tricks being used to avoid challan can now backfire.
How did this hi-tech jugaad work?
According to the police, a remote control system was installed in this car. The driver could change the number plate in a matter of seconds. That means the same vehicle was running on the road with different number plates. It is suspected that this technology was being used to deceive speed cameras and traffic monitoring systems. As soon as the matter came to light, the car was confiscated and serious allegations like fraud were made against the driver.
New ways to avoid AI cameras
Nowadays, AI based cameras are installed on the roads, which immediately detect red light jumping, overspeeding and other rule violations. To avoid these, people are adopting many illegal methods:
- Slight change in number plate letters or numbers
- Use of stylish fonts and incorrect spacing
- Applying spray or transparent film to the plate
- Using another vehicle’s number
Although these tricks may have worked for a while, new systems now catch them easily.

Why do these tricks fail?
Police say that now the traffic system does not depend on just one photo. Several things are looked at during the examination:
- footage from different cameras
- Car model and color
- Time and location data
- chassis and engine number
This means that now it has become almost impossible to dodge the system.
