Speed Camera Offences
Home office statistics reveal that in the last 15 years there has been a 700% increase in the volume of speeding offences committed on the UK’s roads. Speed cameras are the bane of motorists’ lives and it is almost inevitable that at some point all road users will fall foul of this area of the law. If you wish to contest a speed camera offence, call Carter Moore’s dedicated motoring offence team today.

At Carter Moore Solicitors we are experts in the field and have years of experience in advising and assisting motorists. Whether you simply require advice on how best to deal with a notice of intended prosecution or representation at court, contact us today to discuss your case.
If you seek to challenge a speed camera offence then the prosecution must prove the following;
- That the camera is one approved by the Secretary of State.
- That on the day of the offence it was operating correctly.
- That the road is subject to a speed limit.
- The make, index number and speed of the vehicle is identified.
- The identity of the person driving.
If the prosecution are unable to prove all of the above then a motorist, properly represented, should not be convicted.
Not only can we assist in terms of defending allegations of speeding brought about by way of speed cameras, we can also offer advice and representation to motorists charged with speeding who wish to plead guilty. We have vast experience in putting mitigation before the court to ensure our clients receive the minimum penalty possible in the circumstances.
