SIR – Bradford Council allocated £300,000 last year to extend the Automatic Number Plate Recognition system, and Chief Superintendent Alison Rose, Commander of Bradford South Police, has a newly-formed roads policing unit in her division (T&A, October 13). Both are targeted at catching drivers without insurance.
However Jeanette Sunderland, the Liberal Democratic group leader, said that a recent operation in Leeds Road saw 76 drivers being stopped, and while 50 were given fixed penalty notices, only two were found to be uninsured and had their vehicles seized.
So what? Two-thirds were caught flouting the law. In my book the operation was a success.
