Speeding Solicitors

Exceeding the speed limit, or “speeding,” is one of the most common traffic offences, and it can carry serious consequences for drivers. Speed limits are in place to ensure road safety for all users, and breaking these limits may lead to fines, penalty points on your licence, or, in severe cases, a disqualification from driving.

Speeding penalties depend on factors such as how far over the limit you were driving and any past traffic offences. Even minor cases can result in increased insurance costs and impact your ability to drive for work or personal needs. For many drivers, it’s essential to understand their options if facing a speeding charge, as it may be possible to challenge the evidence or explore mitigating factors that could help reduce the penalty.

Our team has extensive experience with speeding cases and can provide guidance on how to approach your case. Whether it’s evaluating speed camera evidence, identifying potential defences, or exploring options for reduced penalties, we are here to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

Building a defence

Most speeding offences are met with either a fixed penalty notice or a summons, leading to fines and penalty points that vary according to the severity of the incident. However, at JHR Solicitors, we take a meticulous approach to defending clients against speed camera charges, scrutinising every detail of the evidence to identify potential grounds for dismissal or reduction of penalties.

Our team carefully examines several critical aspects, including:

• Whether the operators of the speed camera followed the correct procedure,
• Whether the speed camera was calibrated accurately and functioning correctly,
• If a false reading might have occurred due to environmental or technical factors.

By thoroughly investigating these questions and the specifics of your case, we are equipped to develop a strong defence and work toward achieving the best possible outcome in court.

‘Can I appeal a Speeding conviction?’

If you believe you were not speeding or that your punishment was too harsh, you may be able to appeal the conviction or sentence.

Obtaining legal advice immediately could be crucial. If you wish to lodge an appeal, speak to a solicitor who can assess the likely success of your case and initiate the appeal process.
