Social media has seen many illegal solutions, while others are using fake companies to register their cars. Miracle solutions that aren't legal can land you in serious trouble, as Maitre Jean-Baptiste Le Dall reminds us, an automobile law lawyer.
It is a phenomenon that has been seen on messaging apps. Snapchat allows you to be contacted in order to receive immunity in the case of traffic violations. Maitre Le Dall says that the promise is clear: they will take care of everything, and you can keep your points."
"In reality, these people are happy to identify a third person as the perpetrator. The case is closed and the driver who was driving in China, India, or Belgium is debunked. You no longer have to be the one committing the crime and your points will not be lost. The scammers were able to identify the same people repeatedly, drawing the attention of authorities. They started with ANTAI, which manages infractions. These motorists were prosecuted two years later, after they believed they were safe.
The motorist will be confronted by a legal appointment that can prove unpleasant. He will not only have to pay the fines (which can be up to EUR400 for four, five, or six times), but also return the points. There is a high chance that the motorist could be prosecuted for traffic violations. adds Master Le Dall.
"Later, another scam made it into the news. VTC drivers used a registration system with phantom businesses to register their vehicles. They register their vehicle in a straw yard to avoid being caught by the radars. There are a series of empty shells that form a chain of companies to obscure the line between the offender or the offender. The vehicles were quickly resold and the company was forced to close. This made it very difficult for the owner to be identified or withdraw points. explains Maitre Le Dall.
"Unlike Snapchat scams, where the offender subscribes to an illegal service only, here the attempt at deceiving the system takes on additional proportions. This is a completely illegal act that occurs over time. We are in a delinquent logic. This is where forgery and the use of forgery are your only options. This is a sentence that could land you in three years imprisonment and a fine up to EUR45,000. Master Le Dall adds that falsifying documents will increase the sentence. The ultimate problem is how do you get your car back after it has been impounded? Your vehicle could disappear forever.
