no idea Chris !!!!  it just says "alleged" and the place it happened with a description of the bike and the reg number

Could it be a disgruntled cage driver dobbing you in for something you didn't actually do?    False reporting an incident?

no idea Col !!!!  didn't see any police cars or cameras    its a quiet village I rode through.

Their are valid reasons to cross double white lines as described in the Highway Code - challenge it

If you've had the letter within 2 weeks of the (alleged) offence, then they can now take (I think) up to 6 months to formally charge you with the offence and produce evidence. Sounds to me that some cage driver has sent in some dash cam footage, which I'm guessing they will have to provide at some stage (or at least pictures from same), probably when (if) they issue a formal charge. Until you get the formal notification with pictures, there is not a lot you can do, unfortunately, its a case of wait it out and see.

There's a big thing in the UK asking folk with dash cams to dob in other motorists. I know of someone else who's had it recently and he said it's getting more popular.

yeah i did get stuck a few times that day behind a few trucks, some cagers get pissed off because we can get passed but they can't !!  IF i did do it, it would of been safe to do so. I don't take stupid risks anymore.

We like the word "Alleged" here. You can get caught ram raiding a jewelry shop in a stolen car and you are referred to as the "alleged offender".
Makes me sick. Then they get let off because they were only 12.
I get a camera ticket for 115 in a 100 and I have to pay it because I'm 63 and own the bike.
Feel for ya 'hard road'

Find* a reason to ask for the evidence. Something like a mate borrows your bike so you need to know who was riding as you don't remember doing it.

Don't forget it's legal to cross them to overtake certain classes of road user if they are doing 10mph or less.

Deny Deny Deny they have to prove you did it.
It's like a cop saying "what speed do you think you were doing" because he has no clue. 🙀

Cop: Do you know why I stopped you?
Busa Owner: Because I let you.

I did once answer that question with 'give me clue so I don't admit the wrong thing'.
The cop laughed and just warned me about a totally unreadable number plate.

Ive said b4, bike cop came up beside me, i was in pushbike lane at lights. He was talking at me, ear plugs in, i just pointed at ears side of helmet.Trying to tell him i couldnt hear him. Lights changed, off we went, expecting blue lights. Nothing more ever happened.
