Speeding
Jun 14, 2010
Only one officer
This officer pulled me for alleged speeding doing 54 on a 50mph road.
It was one undercover officer that only had a speedometer
and the road the officer followed me down also had a speed camera which didnt flash.
I also have a witness.
I wanted to know which act on the Road Safety Bill can exempt me from this allegation.
Its my word against hers?

No road traffic act can exempt you from speeding.
The only issue is whether or not you were speeding at the time.
If you deny that you were you need to reject the ticket and ask for a court hearing. If you admit you were you need to take the ticket and get the matter over and done with.
If you reject the ticket the case will go to court and the officer will have to convince the magistrates beyond reasonable doubt that you were speeding. if you have a witness to say that you were not then you may be able to cast a doubt.
The speed is close to the limit so you may stand a chance. Its perfectly acceptable for the officer to check your speed using a calibrated speedo in their car.
