A Bronx City Councilmember has introduced legislation to crack down on the proliferation of “ghost cars” with phony license plates, hoping to prevent scofflaws from using the plates to drive recklessly and evade tolls and tickets.
Oswald Feliz, a Democrat representing the central Bronx, introduced two bills on Tuesday which would beef up fines for driving with phony or expired plates, and establish penalties for selling sham tags, which many Big Apple drivers use to essentially make their car untrackable and evade speed camera tickets and automated tolls.
