People caught for speeding may face no consequences

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in the Free State is withdrawing all criminal cases against speedsters who were caught using the ProLaser 4 speed gun.

Rapport reported that legal problems with the ProLaser 4 speed gun, which is used across South Africa, means that all cases involving this equipment are now in jeopardy.

Motorists can ask to see the calibration certificate for the speed measuring equipment used when they are pulled over for speeding.

You may also ask to see the operator’s certificate for the person operating the speed measuring equipment.

In addition to certificates specific to speed measurement, a motorist may also ask to see the officer’s appointment certificate as a peace officer.

Good to know.

More wasted. Money viva another tender and more gravy.

Dembovsky emphasised that should you choose to request these certificates, you must remain polite at all times.


“If any one of them is not produced, don’t get into an argument about it, simply note it for your defence,” said Dembovsky.

They're usually the ones that gets "funny" and start arguing when they can't produce anything you asked for.

Are people paying fines now?

Always have and always will if I know that I was speeding. Since I started driving in 1980, I have had a total of ±8 speeding tickets so far.

So we could say that speeding fines are ineffective then? How many times have you not been caught?

 

[Adenoid Hynkel]

Are people paying fines now?

Haven't paid a speed fine since 2005. Only fines I pay are the ones handed to me.

No, I just try my best not to exceed the speed limit. I'm a kinda stickler to the rules of the road.

Are people paying fines now?

Yes, but only those with real life consequences, like library fines.

Ask him if he's colour blind cos I'm not white, and then give him my license.

But he shouldn't expect a fake smile to go with it...

No, I just try my best not to exceed the speed limit. I'm a kinda stickler to the rules of the road.

I like civilized people such as yourself.
