It will depend on the law in your state.
Here in WA, a vehicle will be impounded for 28 days (first offence) if either the vehicle or driver is unlicenced.
False plates could also add to this - possible fraud (although unlikely).
An unlicenced vehicle can be moved with a permit. If the driver is unlicenced then he/she is not legally allowed to drive any vehicle (unless it is something extreme, such as saving a human life).
CTP probably won't apply as the conditions of it will include that both the car and driver are legally licenced.
