Speeding Solicitors
At Waldrons, we understand that being accused of speeding can be stressful, but we’re here to provide specialist legal advice and representation to increase your chances of achieving a fair outcome. If you’re accused of speeding, getting in touch with us as early as possible means we can help you build a robust defence.
What are the Penalties for Speeding?
The penalty given depends on the circumstances of the speeding offence, such as how fast you were going and whether you’ve committed previous offences. You may be issued a fine and penalty points if you’re caught speeding, although in some cases, you may be given the option to attend a speed awareness course (if you’re eligible). If you plead not guilty, you’ll have to attend court, where you could get a harsher punishment if found guilty. You could also face a driving disqualification in some cases. Exact penalties for speeding may change over time, but you can find out more here.
Possible Defences for Speeding Allegations
Our expert team will look at potential defences to determine if any are suitable for your case. Some common defences used include:
- The Notice of Intended Prosecution wasn’t received within the required time or wasn’t received at all.
- You weren’t the driver of the vehicle.
- It was unclear what the speed limit should be (e.g., due to a lack of signage).
Defending Against Speed Cameras
Speed cameras must be correctly calibrated and routinely checked. If evidence can’t be provided that this was carried out, this may form the basis of a defence. If there is a possibility that the camera produced inaccurate readings, the prosecution must prove that the equipment used has been accurately recording speed readings for other vehicles.
