Thing is though it wasnt me. I live in Norfolk & these happened on the M62 up north.
The car that it is applied to is currently up for sale at the Volvo dealership that I work for & has sat on the forecourt for the last 3 weeks.
Its also on the companys website. I believe that my car has either been cloned or at least false plates made up & put into another car.
As you can all imagine its got me worried especially when it states I may to go to court if I cant prove it wasnt me to plead my case!
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
I can phone them tomorrow & discus it with the North Yorkshire police.

Police will issue a crime report number.... you can then use that with dvsa.
Usually just a paper exercise and simple to remedy (I worked as a car sales man a while back)
Police dont have funding for burglary investigation let alone this type of thing so tend not to spend too much time on cases like this. I doubt youd be asked for cctv evidence etc.

Surely a forecourt has some sort of CCTV security?
Thinking along the same lines. As surely it would be on cctv on the forecourt at the time of the speeding offences? And the same car can't be in two places at once.

This has happened recently to one of our guys at work. He was on site with another guy north of Leeds at around 9am in the morning yet has supposedly been caught doing 92mph on the M6 south of Coventry at about 10:30am
Obviously a cloned plate.
He has sent a statement written by our colleague who was with him to say that they were over 100 miles away, a copy of the fire register he had to sign at the customer they were visiting to show he was there (they have asked for CCTV but haven't got it yet) and work has had to report it to the police.
He got a letter this week saying basically he doesn't have to attend court anymore and no further action will be taken against him. Fortunately for him the vehicle is not his so it is not his responsibility to provide the details of who was driving although all of this has only come to light after our accounts department, who sort the vehicles out, told the DVSA that my colleague was driving without checking it first with him.
Send them a letter saying that you acknowledge receipt of the NIP, state that your car was on a forecourt and that you were not driving it, state that you don't know who was driving and then ask for photographic evidence so as to aid you in identifying the driver.
A family friend had to do something similar years ago after they got a London Congestion Zone fine... for their combine harvester.
