Paper plates are great for picnics but not so good on the highway — one funny license plate in B.C. was caught by keen-eyed RCMP and racked up a stiff penalty.

In a Twitter statement from Tuesday, August 18, Burnaby RCMP announced that a motorcyclist was caught and fined $983 for riding with a paper photo of a license plate.

On top of the vehicle being impounded, its rider was given tickets for driving without insurance, driver's license, or a number plate.

With the cost of the impound and the weight of several tickets bearing down on them, that initial $983 fine might be the least of their worries.
