David Horgan 564 Posted August 11, 2021 looks like you have been cloned Chan write into the Camera enforcement team and explain that the car is first a sales car and has not left London , certainly hasnt been near Doncaster , good way is send invoice of purchase date showing mileage , then a dated picture now showing similar mileage two months later , proof its not been 250 miles north to Doncaster , Also ask for their pictures to prove it was you and your car , half the time their pictures will be different to your car , colour , side mirrors , grilles , person driving Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's me 615 Posted August 11, 2021 Fill in all details and make sure you are not committing perjury, return all paperwork signed as director, fleet sakes manager sole trader etc If you have legal protection on your motor trade insurance give them a ring too Allso consider pepipoo online Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony911 79 Posted August 11, 2021 We has this couple of years back and great advice given by the lads on the forum. It's a nightmare, check the car is same colour also the number plates help alot as they will have different logos, wheels, if you're lucky it might not even be the same make or model. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metcars 397 Posted August 11, 2021 These things can be a nightmare to sort out.tou have my sympathies. Where motoring offences are concerned ‘guilty until proven innocent’ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XFS 70 Posted August 11, 2021 Don’t worry about it. What you will have received is probably not a speeding ticket but a 172 notice requiring you to identify the driver of the car so a speeding ticket can be issued. Clearly, you cannot identify the driver of your car as it wasn’t being driven by anyone when the speeding offence was committed. Presumably you are not the registered keeper of the car as it will be in trade. It may take a couple of letters to sort it out but it won’t be hard to prove that you cannot identify the driver.

Its not this simple A friend had to have the photos blown up to prove the chips on the bonnet were not the same car seen on the m1, it really is a case of guilty till you prove innocence Rem ember these people want an easy option to process I had a guy buying a car off me the other week it is a northern Ireland import so m ot history not available e this bloke said no problem my son is a Quote......

They’ll just send letters to all previous, and work through. These things can bounce around in the system for ages. It’s like that children’s game of pass-the-parcel.
