A Lower Mainland driver may have thought his licence plate was clever – but Vancouver police aren't fans of his creativity. 

The Vancouver Police Traffic Section tweeted four images of a white truck with a "completely fake" licence plate. 

The plate reads "Hoonigan" on the top, which is an automotive enthusiast company. It also produces licence plate frames as well as fully-fake plates.

The bottom of the fake item also reads: "Made by your local penitentiary." 

Police added the driver hadn't "complied with a Box 2 Notice and Order he received in January," either. 

A Box 2 N&O requires repairs to be made and for the driver to return the vehicle to a designated facility for inspection within 30 days or face penalties.

For this incident, the VPD issued the driver a Box 1 Notice and Order, a "no insurance" ticket, and also towed the vehicle.
