What was your legal argument for winning the case then?RCZ-R said:Bummer :x
Can you take it to the court? I mean, are cases like this in UK defend-able? Or is it just wasting time&money thus paying the fine is the reasonable choice?
Why I'm asking. I just recently went through a long-lasting case here in ze Germany. The case was about speeding on the autobahn. A very nasty spot where they got me. The speed limit was applied down to 80 KMH only 200 meters after an unlimited stretch of autobahn. I was flying with over 140 MPH and started to slow down for this section but they got me with like plus 30 KMH by the time I got to the measuring spot. I'd had to slam the brakes like in emergency mode to make it for the limit.
The case was unclear also in regards on how they actually applied the speed measuring devices. As in this case a police officer was conducting the measurement back then, our options were limited. In other cases, private companies do all those speed checks in Germany and you can fight against them. But one needs patience, money and a strong health to do so. Fighting in courts in Germany is not a piece of cake. I hope to never see them again in my whole life. They are not regulated so you cannot rely on a common interpretation of laws and regulations across all of them. Finally we won, but it took me over 2 years to win this case.

Believe it or not, I have never had a speeding fine before, I know, crazy isn’t it? So that’s what makes this so annoying, I didn’t get caught doing 110 down a country lane or overtaking someone on the motorway at 120, I simply let the thing run down the hill & was braking round the corner as I had my wife in the car with me, holding our new puppy...
