Bad BBC reporting again - the report (which is perfectly fine) says the 57% figure applies to 'some districts of Bradford' but the headline says 'most drivers uninsured', which is a different and unsupported claim.

Still, it's a valid use of numberplate recognition in my book, and should actually work as a deterrent. Driving around with a numberplate is part of the deal of being allowed on the road, and the point of the numberplate is to link the car with the person driving it. No civil liberties problem there.
