Speeding offences are an area of expertise for our specialist Road Traffic Team.

Potential Loopholes

• Insufficient calibration or testing of speed detection equipment.
• Insufficient measurement of roads used for calibrating and testing equipment.
• Insufficient evidence of speed limit, identity of driver or vehicle registration mark.
• Failure by police officers to follow procedures.
• Unauthorised police officers conducting enquiries under Section 172 of the RTA 1988.

Nearly 25% of our instructions come from clients stopped by Police and accused of speeding. We have successfully represented both national celebrities and professionals throughout Scotland.

Scotland’s Road Traffic Policing Departments use various speed detection devices such as the Prolaser III, VASCAR and the Unipar Laser while maintaining both stationary and average speed cameras.

It is essential that these devices are not only working properly but that they are tested and operated in accordance with procedures otherwise the recordings taken can be inaccurate or simply unreliable.

Penalties for this offence include a fine and the imposition of penalty points, normally between 3-6 points. However, were the speed is deemed excessive disqualification is a possibility.

Unfortunately, with so many static and mobile speed detection devices it can be easy to rack up penalty points and be faced with disqualification through totting up.

If you find yourself in this position then check out our section on totting up as disqualification can be avoided!

Defending a speeding offence often involves very technical evidence and requires the examination of the speed detection device, the locus and investigating whether the police officers have followed the necessary procedures.

The evidence can be so complex that you may be running the risk of losing your driving licence by employing anyone other than a specialist to represent you.

Accordingly, the task of retaining your driving licence should not be entrusted to inferior legal representatives when only specialist road traffic solicitors will do!

Our specialist Road Traffic Solicitors explore existing loopholes in the law and are always testing the law to breaking point with technical and complex submissions to develop new loopholes where our solicitors feel that the speed has not been detected within the confines of the law. We use the services of the very best former road traffic police and speed detection device experts to get you acquitted.

If you are guilty of speeding then we have the expertise to keep the penalty points you receive at an absolute minimum or prevent them being imposed at all.

Have you been issued with a speeding ticket or expect to be charged with speeding? If so, don’t leave anything to chance… contact the Road Traffic specialists immediately!
