Sadiq Khan Seeks Crackdown on Ghost Number Plates
London Mayor backs plan to curb unpaid fines from ghost plates, costing TfL £49.8m yearly.
On 29 January 2026, London Mayor Sadiq Khan announced support for a crackdown on ‘ghost number plates’—vehicles without active registration numbers—after the All‑Party Parliamentary Group for Transport warned that these plates cost Transport for London (TfL) £49.8 million annually in unpaid fines. The move follows estimates that ghost plates are driving significant financial losses for TfL, and the mayor cited a need for tougher enforcement and better detection methods. The announcement comes as TfL seeks to reduce illegal driving offences across the capital, with the mayor emphasising that tackling ghost plates is part of a broader strategy to improve road safety and revenue recovery.
