A mate of mine just phoned me in a bit of a panic. He's just received an NIP for speeding.
It's his registration number, and it states there's photographic evidence (which he hasn't seen).
The date/time of the alleged offence was 5:19 on the 8th June - on the A677 outside Blackburn.
Matey has never even been to Blackburn and he was working until 6 in the morning that day. He's a truck driver.
So obviuosly there's some mistake with the camera reading, or someone driving on false plates. And my mate has his tacho and work sheets to prove he was not in the car, or even near Blackburn at the time, so nothing to worry about.
But what's his course of action ?

No - not possible anyone else in family or friends was driving.
He's the only insured driver and the car hasn't been away from it's home outside Sheffield. Not even his missus drives it. It's a Ford Mustang which she won't touch cos it's LHD.

Well that makes things a bit more interesting. Definitely mention that it's a LHD Mustang in the letter, and ask for copies of the photographs, the chance that the plates are on another mustang are slim to none.
Precisely Dave.
