Castrol roadside billboard ANPR snoopvertising - another DVLA database privacy scandal

,----[ Quote ]
| Remember that the definition of "personal data" includes
| partially or poorly "anonymised data", which 
| can easily be cross referenced with another system 
| e.g. Vehicle Number Plate and just the first part 
| of the Post Code of the Registered Keeper address 
| will be enough to identify the driver , in most 
| cases.
