Speeding
For all RTA enquiries please call us now on : 0207 061 3690
Speeding fines and prosecutions in Britain have increased sevenfold and the number
of speed cameras has rocketed, in 2006 there were 5,500 speed cameras on the road,
not to mention the other types of devices used to target motorists such as the LTI
20:20 Laser Gun.
Every year a million more speeding tickets are issued than a decade ago - raising
£100m a year in fines, and the growing speed camera network resulted in the number
of drivers disqualified under the “totting up” procedure reaching 33,000 in 2003.
The successful prosecution of speeding offences is far from straight forward and
our specialist road traffic solicitors are here to scrutinise the prosecution case
and work out your chances of success and advise you on whether you should plead
Guilty or Not Guilty.
