A MERCEDES was seized after police spotted a letter had fallen off its "super-stylish 4D number plate".
The red car was seen on Great Horton Road and the driver was found to be using a fake insurance policy.
Police say these plates don't meet legal standards.
It quite literally failed to stick to the plate
West Yorkshire Police said: "As this genuine Mercedes-Benz AMG passed by on Great Horton Road, something caught our eye… a letter had fallen off its super‑stylish '4D number plate'.
"Oh no! While these plates might look good (to some), they often don’t meet legal standards - and in this case, it quite literally failed to stick to the plate… or the law.
"We stopped the driver to offer some friendly advice regarding their number plate.
"However, things quickly escalated. It turned out their 'insurance' fell into the same category as the plate; it looked convincing at first glance, but had zero integrity… because it was fake.
"A missing letter is one thing. Driving without valid insurance is something else entirely.
"Driver reported to court, vehicle seized."
