Speeding
The police rely on various detection devices to prosecute speeding motorists. The most common are various types of fixed or mobile laser cameras. Detections such as GATSO, SVDD, SPECS.
If you are stopped by a police officer using a hand-held "radar" gun you should make no admissions as quite often the policeman has failed to follow mandatory procedures thus creating technical defences.
If you are not stopped but receive a NOTICE OF INTENDED PROSECUTION in the post requesting the identity of the driver do NOT return this form until you have spoken to us.
MAXIMUM PENALTY
6 penalty points or disqualification for the offence itself.
Motoring Solicitors does not condone breaking the law. However, it's clear that speeding offences are now being seen as a major source of generating revenue, and this seems to be leading to an approach to the administration of justice that's focussed on "administration" rather than "justice".
