In two places at once (Bus lane warning notice)

[Horse Pop]

Hello.

I'm sure this has come up before but the search function is still bobbins.

Just had a letter (not a fine) from Sheffield city council.

It's saying I drove in a buslane last week at 4 o clock on a week day.

The only problem is, I haven't been to Sheffield in over two years (nothing against Sheffield, lovely city, used to live there).

I was sat at work about 2 hours drive away and I'm pretty happy my car was in the car park.

What's the usual recommended course of action with these?

I assume it's a typo when somebody in SYC was typing up the number plates, and it's not a fine just a finger-wagging - but I'm curious to know if somebody is driving around Sheffield with the same numberplate as my car?

Already emailed the council to ask if I could see the car from their footage.

It could be a typo but it could also be that your car has been cloned.
Lets hope they can supply footage/photo evidence.

The whole process could be automated and the number plate reader has simply got it wrong.

Custard test (pic of redacted letter please).

Or else Sheffield must be only LA in the country which is so generous.
