Think the police have dropped a major bo**ock....
Discussion
Last week I had borrowed my brothers motor to get to work in as mine had been sold, and i'd not picked my new one up yet.
Anyway, I got a phone call this evening to say that he had recieved a letter of G.Manchester police saying that his car had been clocked at "in excess of 121 mph" on the M60. Now the only times I drove his car last week were to and from work during rush hour...... if anybody has driven on the M60 at rush hour they will realise that it would be pretty damn near impossible to do this sort of speed at this time!!
He only recieved this letter today and works nights so i havent been able to look at the exact details - time, location etc, however I am understandably rather worried about this! Hopefully it will be obvious that its a complete f*ck up and I will be able to prove that I wasnt on the motorway at this time or somethin, but if times do tie up, where do I go from here??
The only time i remember having a police car behind me was thurs or fri morning (07.00 ish) between ashton under lyne and stockport. I knew the car was there and consiously drove within the limits, is it possible this car had a dodgy camera in or something??
Any advice would be greatly appriciated. I will update the details when i see the letter.
Cheers

Crikey!! Never thought of that, funily enough its an impreza as well so could be on to somethin there!!
I guess the letter should have all details of time, place, type of camera, type of vehicle etc, never even been pulled for anything before this in 6yrs of driving so not really sure what the procedure is!
Other thing i couldnt figure out is if it was a patrol car (as I said, not seen the letter yet), then why did i not get pulled over if i was doing anything like that speed???

Ask for the photograph (if there is one) and then compare the car in the picture to your brothers. If there is even a tiny discrepancy when you compare them you can say its not your car and its a cloned plate.
Otherwise you are in a difficult position...having to prove yourself innocent!
