Many drivers simply accept speeding convictions without actually attending court.  Without challenging the evidence, you will never know whether the alleged offence could have been proven in court.  You may have on your licence points which simply could have been avoided.  Worse, you may be disqualified as a result of having too many points on your licence, when this could have been avoided with the right legal advice and assistance.

The police are able to use more than fifty different types of devices in order to measure your speed.  These include photographs from a speed camera, evidence from a handheld speed camera, laser devices, video from a camera and evidence from police officers.

In order to be able to rely on the evidence of these speed measuring devices, the equipment must be properly calibrated and used only by officers who have received specialist training.  There are also guidelines in place that determine when and how the device ought to be used. 

As a result, we may be able to help you avoid being convicted of speeding if the Police are not able to prove that you were driving. Also, we may be able to cast doubt upon the reliability of the speed measurement technique and therefore have the case thrown out. Furthermore, we may be able to argue that the speeding did not take place on a public road and therefore is not an offence. If the Police have failed to follow legal procedures, we may be able to successfully have your case dismissed.

If you are convicted of speeding, you will receive between 3 and 6 points on your licence, depending upon the seriousness of the offence alleged. You are also at risk of being disqualified. You may also receive a fine and the maximum varies between £1,000, where the offence took place anywhere but on a motorway, and the maximum fine is £2,500 where the offence was on a motorway.
