Drivers in East Oxford were today being stopped by police carrying out roadside checks.
The checks in Marsh Road were part of a mobile Automatic Number Plate Recognition scheme, which runs the number through police and DVLA databases.
The databases flag up vehicles for not having road tax or insurance or for being involved in other crimes.
Police spokesman Vicki Brandon said: "ANPR checks are being carried out in Marsh Road. Five local officers and three support staff are involved."
