Speeding fine conundrum ?

[Pearcey3]

I have read many stories online of people doing what you suggest & the outcome is always the same.
They are found guilty of obstructing the police by "refusing" to give the drivers details & get double the points, a much larger fine & court costs to pay.
Unless you can afford to employ the solicitor "Mr loophole" who specialises in getting people off motoring offences it seems that once a fine has been issued there is no way of avoiding it even if you weren"t driving & genuinely don"t know who was or are convinced the car was not being driven at the time.
I contacted DVLA today to see about having my registration number changed as I genuinely believe there is another car driving around with the same number plates as mine.

Is it worth taking a photo of your car and seeing if it differs with the ones the Police have?
Maybe try and get hold of your local MP! What about contacting the local press. If you are innocent do not admit to guilt.

The only possible difference I can see from the photo I have is that on my front plate the dealers name is below the reg where as there is nothing below the plate in the photo.
However again this could just be how these photos come out (I have never seen one before) & could be due to flash/glare ?
The colour of the car in the photo is slightly different to the colour of mine but again this could be due to light/flash/glare as the car is a dark brown metallic although to me it looks dark grey metallic & in the photo it looks a slightly lighter grey metallic.

When number plates are issued , the name of the supplying garage or shop is put below the number plate . The supplying garage has to take a copy of the V5 and the log book . I would ask if you can have a better quality photo as the fact there doesn't appear to be a supplier on the speeding photos would show they were not yours . If you can prove you were camping that should be enough to clear your name .
You can buy "show" plates on line . It is a way of getting round the number plate law.

I had a similar experience with one of our courtesy cars where we hadn't registered someone driving it , as a limited company they couldn't issue points but they did hand out a whopping £700 fine .

If you report the incidents as crimes , you have a far better chance of anyone believing it isn't your car involved .
If you were in fact driving the car and go down this road and it gets proved , you will go to prison unfortunately.

I was not driving the car, the 2 family members who theoretically could have got hold of my keys swear they did not drive it, & as far as I am concerned the car was on the drive at the time of both incidents.
I will contact the police today & see if I can report the 2 incidents as crimes although how I would do that I do not know as the car has not been stolen & has been in my possession the entire time ?
The fact that I ordered (& received within 24 hours) new number plates online without any documentation proves that anyone can get number plates made up to clone a car if they want to.

Reporting it will only strengthen your case.

Have you gone to PEPIPOO for advice?
