All machines used in modern day speed detection must be properly calibrated and used only by officers specifically trained in their operation. There are also strict rules governing when, where and how the machines should be used. If the operating requirements have not been met, then it may be difficult to prove a speeding offence.
A large number of speeding convictions are brought and the majority are dealt with under the fixed penalty scheme. This means that motorists increasingly accept a speeding conviction without thinking of their best option, without ever seeing the evidence against them.
Lawful defences may be available to this and other motor offences, using tactics to evade prosecution can make matters worse. Graham Evans & Partners always act within the confines of the law in helping you defend a prosecution and will never advise any client to lie in order to achieve an acquittal.
The police could prosecute anyone who attempts to avoid conviction by unlawful means, this could not only result in your conviction for a minor motoring offence, but could also lead to being prosecuted for a more serious offence which carries a prison sentence.
