The five top positions for speed cameras to trap you, all round the world
caught using false number plates the charge is much more serious. Don’t do it. You are vulnerable to patrolling police cars checking your number instantly.
If you say someone else was driving when they weren’t, then this becomes a very serious charge against you for which both of you can be sent to prison. Don’t do it. To-days cameras will frequently have enough power to photograph the driver.
If you are driving a foreign car with foreign number plates, then they will often forget it if there is no reciprocal arrangement with your home country.
If you try and prove that the camera was poorly serviced or was at the wrong setting you’ll have an uphill struggle. The police usually give you a 10% leeway on your speed, so that easily knocks out any camera objections. Object on technical grounds against a camera and you’ll lose – unless you are yourself a technician and know where the bodies lie.
To get off a fine and points on your licence you will generally have to prove that police made a mistake in their procedures, or the authority made a mistake with setting the signs or in the bye laws. On a major road, and particularly on motorways, they’ve got it all tied up, you won’t get off. However in smaller roads, under the authority of the local council then mistakes in orders are often made. You’ll need a legal representative to dig out the information for you probably. If the prospect is losing your licence then it may be worth the expense.
NORMALLY EASY TO GET OFF ROAD WORK RESTRICTIONS
The local authorities are most prone to mistakes when setting up temporary speed restrictions, or in the signs at temporary road works which they control. Take photographs, measure the distances between the signs, look for obstructions of the signs, check the records and you are likely to get off.
Good luck. Best to drive within the limits, really.
