Mistaken Identity

I went to the DMV office the other day
For, I received an urgent notice of traffic violation
That came promptly to me as a text message 
For me to take immediate resolution action.

I was told there again about repeated offence
And the amount of money I had to pay as fine
Being a very careful driver I expressed wonder
If the vehicle involved was really mine.

I checked the vehicle number once again
Verified from the employee the owner’s name
Told the man the vehicle didn’t belong to me
Unknowingly, I was made a party in a cheating game.

This bloke, a cheat didn’t use his mobile number
Instead he entered mine in his vehicle’s record
I told DMV man I was harassed for mistaken identity 
For, to pay the fine maybe the blighter couldn’t afford.
