They are far more likely to do something if you can give the number.

As a matter of interest, how do they guard against against malicious
reports ?

By looking at the CCTV provided?

Fair enough if that was possible. But I was asking in relation to
their simply being "given" the number. What's to stop anyone
maliciously reporting a neighbour of anti-social driving along
with their car number ?
More especially if the neighbour is unpopular and other
neighbours are willing to back up the malicious complaint.
The description of the process makes no mention of CCTV, although
obviously that would help.

Or there again even better somebody could "borrow" the neighbours
car do a few wheelies and get caught on the CCTV even better.

Plenty let others drive their car. Here, if the car is caught on speed
cameras,
you are free to tell the authoritys who was driving it at the time;.

Same would apply in the situation being discussed.
