Speeding charge

Beamer · Nov 14, 2010

Just got pulled speeding on the N7 where the road changes from 2 lanes to 3 and the speed limit accually goes down from 120 to 100.
I was pulled by a lone motorcycle cop and told i will recive my fine and points in 3 weeks.

My question is, does anybody know if it is possible to inforce if it is only one guards word against mine?

I was in my van and missed the change in speed so may have been just a little over the limit.

Thanks guys in advance

How unlike you, Kev. :augie

You should know better. :rob

Did he/she show you the speed on the gun? I think they changed the law a few years ago to make that sufficient.
:comfort

Kev, did he take your details and then enter them into his little black book, if the answer is yes then our busted :blast

new vans

As far as I know the garda must prove your were over the speed limit ...Thing is you then must go to court to find out if he has that proof ... If he has ,the fine and points are more ... If he /she cannot prove it and you decide to go to court it probably would be pulled... But why would he stop you if he was not in a position to prove you were over the limit ?

Seperate question So you are rolling along on your bike and around a corner is one of the new camera vans with its rear doors facing you.. Does any one know if they can get your rear reg details ?

yeah the newer model gatso vans have a side window on the drivers side to take pictures of the rear license plate, dunno if it is specifically for bikes. More likely in case the front plate was unreadable

I saw one in operation on the ballincollig by-pass in Cork not too long ago.
A Red unmarked Renault Traffic Hi-top

which is why we should all get one of these

I was talking to a traffic cop in Knockhill earlier this year and he told me that the film of you speeding and passing the van (so your plate can be seen) has to be continuous, if you pull out of view even for just a minute before you pass the van they cant prosecute. But that was in the UK not sure bout here.
