Erroneous speeding letter from Speedwatch Scheme
Discussion
I have received a letter from Ibstone Speedwatch advising me that my Monaro was seen driving in excess of 30mph on 10/10/14 on Ibstone Road, Ibstone and that details have been noted by Thames Valley Police for future reference (my paraphrasing).
At the date and time mentioned my car was, without question, in my driveway, approx. 200 miles north of Ibstone. My wife and I were attending a family event together in her car and nobody else would or could have been driving the Monaro.
My first thoughts are that the Speedwatch operative has recorded the registration number incorrectly, thus obtaining my car details, name and address instead of those of the perpetrator.
Other possibility is that there is a vehicle out there on a cloned registration and this may only be the first instance of potential problems ahead...
I intend to contact the postal and email addresses supplied stating the above facts, but just wondering if there is anything else I should do to help avoid or deal with any future issues if there is a cloned reg. out there??
Thanks
Mark

Worst "I've got a monaro" post, ever.
Nowt but a posers car

Thanks for the assorted comments chaps.
I'll just advise them of the facts, request that they remove my details from their database and ask them to be a little more careful in their future record keeping!
Hopefully that'll be an end to it.
