Speeding - Defences

The prosecution must prove its case to the Court establishing beyond reasonable doubt that you have for example, been speeding. If there are any evidential difficulties with the prosecution case, Driving Law will spot them and advise you accordingly. This will include proving that it was you was driving – although some obvious inferences can reasonably be drawn.

These include challenges to fixed position Gatso and speed recording hand-held devices (where applicable). The Gatso uses radar technology and is used for fixed speed cameras, in-car mobile units, tripod mounting and can even be used from moving vehicles. Driving Law will carefully examine the set-up of the device including calibration, alignment and site. This may well be affected by annual service requirements of the device and the meeting f training requirements by the operator.

Challenges will also include an examination of the continuity of the evidence collected. This is where challenge is made to how the evidence was recorded, collected and stored for use in Court. There are procedures to be followed to ensure that evidence is not contaminated.

The above is a time consuming and complex process.
