Our advice

Speeding mustn’t be based solely on one opinion unless the offence was on the motorway. Therefore the camera operator must provide a method of corroborating that opinion.

There are a number of possible avenues open to defending an allegation.The law is full of technicalities both in relation to the evidence and procedure. On occasion it may be possible to argue that there is insufficient evidence for the prosecution to prove the case.

It is highly recommended that you seek advice from specialist motoring or criminal defence lawyers who will either be able to help you avoid a conviction or limit the damage by securing a reduced sentence.
