A police car was so dirty that its number plate could not be read — a driving offence that can result in fines of up to £1,000[/caption]

A Twitter user first asked cops about the laws on dirty number plates

Police responded by saying you could get pulled over for having unreadable plates

Stephen McGowan, 42, had asked on Twitter if he could be stopped for an unreadable muddy rear plate.

Lincs Police replied: “Yes you can get pulled over as front and rear number plates must be securely affixed and readable at all times.”

Stephen, of Skegness, then tweeted a pic of the squad car at a local Tesco, adding: “I would give you the registration number, but . . . “

Offenders can be fined £1,000.
