Speeding
It is an offence to drive a motor vehicle on a road at a speed in excess of the limits presented by law.
In bringing prosecutions of this kind the police generally rely upon evidence from a speed trap device – either a mobile computer operated by a traffic officer or a stationary “speed camera”. However, in a clear cut case oral evidence from a police officer perhaps in a pursuing police car can be sufficient to found a conviction.
It is possible to assert that the police speed trap device is defective and in that event expert evidence will have to be called. Establishing a defence on this basis can be difficult.
The police are empowered to offer a fixed financial penalty which will also carry 3 penalty points. In the event of a formal prosecution the court may impose a fine and disqualification from driving – in their discretion. An award of penalty points will also follow – of between 3-6 points.
