Check your speeding fines carefully

Justice Project South Africa (JPSA) has warned vehicle owners to carefully check any speed camera-based traffic fines they have received or discover on their banking app.

There have been numerous cases of South African drivers being charged for speeding infractions incorrectly, according to JPSA chair Howard Dembovsky.

“In one recent case, a motorist faced a criminal charge because the location of the infringement was incorrectly recorded,” he said.

A bigger problem I've noticed recently on a road trip is how many speed limit signs are missing. This has huge implications when they are missing where the speed limit drops from 120km/h to 80km/h or 60km/h.

In this case, the driver was travelling on a highway and driving at 134km/h in a 120km/h zone. He should therefore have received a speeding fine for going 14km/h over the speed limit.

“The image shows his vehicle on the freeway. However, the location at which the violation was alleged to have occurred was given as an urban road several kilometres away, in an 80km/h zone,” Dembovsky said.

Facing criminal charges​

Based on this incorrect location, the driver was charged for going 74km/h over the speed limit, resulting in the classification of the infraction as a criminal offence and triggering a mandatory court appearance.

Does not compute.

After reading this article, my first reaction was that I can't even remember the last time I even got a picture with a speeding fine, I honestly thought they didn't do them anymore, I usually just get a notice, curious now about the legality of that.

but you didn't answer the question.

Doesn't the image and summons surface the EXIF information? Can one get access to the raw image in order to check that?

My wife got a fine. For not stopping at the STOP sign. She slowed down via her dashcam to a stop and then indicated and went over. But they fast forwarded it and tried to edit it. Also the time coincided with the time she has to fetch my child which she was. That was a 15 minute difference.

They threatened us and we refused to pay. Never heard from them again.

 

[system32]

No.

Probably only a matter of time.

How do I update the postal address they send the notices to ?

Yes it's legal. But they have to be able to produce the picture on request as well as the permit and calibration certificate for the camera.
