Kentucky Driver Failed To Fool Police With Hand-drawn License Plate
By CNN Newswire
A Kentucky dri- ver's DIY license plate didn't quite fool the police.
Millersburg Police Department offi- cers conducted a traffic stop on September 2 after spotting a license plate that seemed a bit out of place, officials said.
From a distance, the homemade license plate looked somewhat like the real deal. Although marker strokes are visi- ble, its numbers and letters are well-drawn and resemble the state plate.
But the tag was missing one key detail -- the regis- tration sticker.
After further investigation, police determined that the vehicle driver had no insurance and was driving with a suspended license.
Police offered some sound advice for any drivers looking to test their drawing skills on their Facebook page.
"Pro Tip: Don't forget to draw the registration stick- er."
Surprisingly this isn't the first time a driver has pulled this stunt.
Last year, in California, a driv- er also tried to get away with a homemade license plate.
In that instance, Moorpark Police Senior Deputy David Anaya was helping a motorist on the side of the road when he saw a passing tractor trailer's fake license plate.
Not only were the plate's numbers crooked and dif- ferent sizes, but the state's name was misspelled. The plate said "CALIFAS," which is Spanish slang for California.

Bill Wyman, leg- endary Bass player of the Rolling Stones, from 1962 until 1993, has auc- tioned some of his prized memo- rabilia for charity (The Prince’s Trust, Macmillan Cancer
Support and
the Central Caribbean Marine Institute)
The English musician, song- writer, and record producer sold his 1969 Fender Mustang Bass (with a Competition Orange finish) for $384,000 making it the most expensive Bass guitar ever sold, as well as his 1962 VOX AC30 Normal model amplifier for
$106,250, making it the most expensive amp ever sold at an auction.
The most surpris- ing sale, though, was his plush yel- low toilet seat cover with printed Rolling Stones tongue logo design ( dating from 1975) for an amazing $1,152.
