I just received a letter from the Mayor of London telling me that myDodge 50 has been recently driven withinthearea soonto become theLow Emission Zone, and that I should consider modifying it, buying a newer vehicle, staying out,or pay ?200 per day to drive there.This is a bit strange, as the Dodge has been off the road for over 3 years, and hasn't even got all its wheels (they were stolen).I am wondering if someone has cloned my plates.Ihave informed the authorities of this, soif someone is using my number he will soon be in for a nasty surprise.Has anyone else who doesn't go into the Zone received a similar letter?

It's possible it was just a glitch in the system and the letter was sent out in error. However reporting it is a good idea as you are now likely to get a letter from DVLA saying the vehicle has been used without Road Tax, as all the info is passed on to them.

You will then have to prove it wasn't you using the vehicle. (Innocent until proven guilty? I don't think so in the UK Police State)  As you may have guessed I'm not a fan of Moron Livingstone and his crackpot ideas.

I have received one of those letters in the last two weeks, informing me that fro feb 2008 it will cost me ?200 a day, now yes I do drive in and around london and yes I expect me plates were picked up on the cam rec system, but if your vehicle is classed as off the road it most likely is a glitch or a clone.

Under the data protection act I think you can request the picture / data information regarding this if you pay 15 quid.
If there is a picture you will more than likely be able to prove the vehicle was not yours, what are the chances of a 50 series, same model and colour being 'cloned'.

If you receive letters abouty an untaxed / insured / mot'ed vehicle on the road and you haven't, you need to again use the data protection act to get the information they hold, tis a powerfull tool that act, so use it if you need.


On a lighter note, if you reclass your vehicle as showmans you can apply to Transport for London (kens traffic mob) to have the vehicle exempted from the draconion laws being introduced, dont know of any other exemptions at the moment, but when I do I will pop it up.

Thank you both. I think is a good idea to ask for the picture. I will do this tomorrow.
