Fines given to drivers for modified or incorrectly displayed number plates

The request was successful.

Dear Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency,

I'm requesting information about how many drivers in the United Kingdom have been fined for modified number plates for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019 (e.g. incorrect fonts, patterned backgrounds). I would also like to know how much money drivers have been fined.

Please can you also provide the same information for drivers who have been fined for having dirty number plates?

Yours faithfully,
Daniel Sarath
