Registration Number Query
Discussion
Hi all,
My daughter's car was reversed into by a driver that then failed to stop. A neighbour has CCTV and caught the incident on camera but I'd like to try to speed up the process by trying to ID the registration plate and what car it is?
Looks pretty distinctive. I've tried zooming in to the reg but can't see it. Think the neighbours whose CCTV it is have gone out so trying to do some detective work.
ETA - daughter is speaking with people whose house the driver came from.

That’s definitely a recent Ford Ranger crew cab.
It’s also some awful inconsiderate parking on the part of your daughter opposite a parking area. The CCTV would suggest she arrived after the Ranger because otherwise it would surely have been parked further down. There is no way that Ranger would have got out that parking space if there had been a car parked on either side of it.
This is a classic example of why insurers increase premiums after a non-fault accident.

It didn’t have a car parked either side though.It’s also some awful inconsiderate parking on the part of your daughter opposite a parking area.

That said, the OP’s daughter is asking for trouble parking like that.

I'm not sure when she got there to be honest. Usually when I've gone to their house, the side of the road she's parked on is nose to tail with cars parked.It’s also some awful inconsiderate parking on the part of your daughter opposite a parking area.

Initial Dave - that's what she is going to do.
My wife’s car was reversed into twice over the years by people coming out of their drives.
Her job used to entail stopping for a few minutes at a large number of houses in estates and inevitably some of those stops were opposite peoples driveways.
I don’t know if they were too busy checking each way to remember about checking directly behind or they just assumed nobody would be there.
It looks like the Ford driver has done the same, checked either side but not immediately behind.

I see the original photos showing where the daughter had parked have been removed - I wonder why ?
I removed them because she is now talking to the neighbour that has the CCTV and will involve the police next. Given that no one can enhance the pictures to a higher level of quality to ID the numberplate, there's little point in leaving the photos up. I posted originally so that maybe I could go to her and say "This is the reg number of the car, it's a XXX (make and model)" to try to help her a little. GloverMart said:

No one would ever be able to do that from an image sharing site upload of a phone picture of a screen playing the video.Why would you even think such a thing was possible?

User name doesn't check out.I've already said why the image was removed. I (wrongly) assumed that maybe the image could be enhanced so that the reg number could be ID'd. Once this was clear, there's little point in leaving the image up. It has nothing to do with any criticism she's getting for her parking.
As my daughter was visiting the neighbour today to talk to them re the CCTV, by now I expect she's got a reg number so that she can take this further. All I tried to do was to speed the process up.

I didn't see the original image but having recently seen the results of an enhanced low-res video being upscaled, I can tell you that kind of thing is most definitely possible.
