I really doubt this error will have any effect on the other driver's intent to continue to break the law.

if I were you and knew someone else had my number like that I would get a new plate to avoid more mix ups in the future

I would think that the chance of a typographical error with his existing plate would be exactly the same as if he got a new plate number. Every non-personalized license plate is one wrong key stroke away from a mistake.

Perhaps a solution is a personalized license plate. But depending on the area, even those are getting hard to get unless one uses "creative" letter combinations and then we are right back to the start with a vulnerability to a typographic error.

I think the key is to recognize that this was a mistake, not a conspiracy that requires protective action.
