A 20-year-old woman from Massachusetts who was banned from driving took to the road after manufacturing a home-made licence plate for her car. Writing on a piece of cardboard, she used a red marker pen to draw out letters in the centre of the licence plate before using a blue pen to write 'Massachusetts' at the top and 'Spirit of America' below. However the forgery proved less-than convincing after officers driving along the I-391 in Chicopee quickly spotted the fake plate. A 20-year-oldwho was banned from driving attempted to fool cops by attaching this home-made licence plate to her car, complete with Massachusetts written at the top and 'The Spirit of America' at the bottom . The woman was pulled over at 7.30am when police discovered she had several violations against her, including a suspended licence and revoked registration. A spokesman for Massachusetts State Police said: 'The operator of the vehicle was charged with several violations, including having a suspended license and revoked registration. 'Moral of the story, if you shouldn’t be driving, please don’t.' The female driver was charged with driving with a suspended license and attaching false plates. However, cops weren't fooled, and she has now been charged with driving with a suspended license and attaching false plates (pictured, how the licence plate should have looked)
