I take it they have sent you a NIP (notice of intended prosucution). Simply send the issuing authority, Aberdeen Police, a recorded delivery letter stating that you were in Manchester at the time of the alleged speeding offence. Also get proof i.e. employer clock card records?
Also ask for a copy of the photograph which prooves the speeding offence. They may write back and demand you plead guilty in order to send you the photographs, ignore it and ask for the photos.

Check the back of your car to the back of the car in the photo, if different challenge again by source of a recorded letter.

It may be that your number plate has been cloned.......speak to the Aberdeen Police straight away...........

Hmmm..sounds fishy. Could it be identity theft? I'd call the Aberdeen police dept. and see what they say.

I had a similar problem living in Bristol and accused of driving at over the speed limit in Glasgow.I was able to point out that since I had bought the vehicle the mileage shows that I could not have driven to Scotland and back, also that my employer had records of myself at Bristol on the day of the offence as did my wifes employer.

report it with a very nasty letter. the same happened to me and i got a huge appology and the ticket was canceled. do it quick though, the earlier the better

1 - Take a copy of the ticket.

2 - Write a letter explaining the situation and state that you can supply proof that your vehicle was somewhere else at the time.

3 - Return the ticket with your letter to the issuing authority, either police or council.

4 - Await outcome.

Note. Check that the vehicle details on the ticket match those of your vehicle. If not then give details of your vehicle in your letter.

You should have no problems - so relax, it's not serious.

I were once accused of speeding in London (inner London), the nearest i've been is on the m25 & its imposible to get done for speeding on there during the day!!

I checked out the dates & found that on the day in question I were on Holiday-sent a copy of my holiday reciept, flight details etc & got an apology-turned out my plates had been cloned-camera evidence also showed that it wasn't the same make of car! have you got receipts for your local shops, carparks (tickets where I live have your reg no on them) were you in work? if you have any details of them they could help you out otherwise good luck.

If it really wasn't you, then you have nothing to worry about. If you can remember what you were doing on the day - maybe you have a diary entry, or you have a witness that can say you were at work, or shop till receipts etc. then this is good evidence to prove you weren't in Aberdeen. As long as you can prove it wasn't you in some way, shape or form, you won't have a problem. It may be a cloned number plate, or they've just typed the wrong registration into the system and it's ended up with your car.

contact the enquiry address for Aberdeen police and state your case to them

You've been cloned as someone mentioned above if you can prove were your motor was at time and date no problem plus Aberdeen Police will put out an APB for cloned motor and hopefully catch them...Contact them asap....


nicemanvery
See if you can prove where you were at the time of issue , then inform the Aberdeen police !!


funky munky is back
Contest it, and try to say where you were at the time, I have done this and got away with it. If it wasn't you, then you shouldn't pay it, they do make mistakes.

You're innocent so first of all relax. This is common - errors happen (I live in Scotland and had a parking fine sent to my home address from a place down in England I'd never heard of and never visited!). I remember that there were contact details on the ticket so you should have a contac number on your fine to. Give them a call and explain the situation. They asked me a couple of questions and within seconds they apologised and deleted the ticket.


Voice of Reason
Presumably you haven't got a speeding ticket, but a form asking to you, as the registered keeper of the vehicle, to tell them who was driving it on the date and time in question.

Send it back explaining where the vehicle was (to the best of your knowledge) around the time of the incident.

Is there not a route to dispute you're ticket. Can you ask for the photo to be sen to you?


hell hath no fury
Are you talking about aberdeen and Manchester, Wa? If so, call both police departments. Of course they will never believe you, I'm sure they've heard it a thousand times. but if you have recently purchased the car, or loaned it to someone, that would be a good reason. Or if you recently got your license plates changed, some people go looking for older tossed out plates, put them on thier cars, and when the vehicle gets tagged, it automatically goes to your address, even if the make of the car is different. I have dealt with some strange car business since moving to Seattle, that I have never had in any other place. Also, if you have a job, or any kind of proof, like work records or reciepts from that day, from any other town, say like a credit card reciept from a store in another town on that day, that can help a ton. I got a speeding ticket from Oregon, and had to use a fast food reciept to prove that I wasn't anywhere near there!
