Fighting Your Ticket

Speeding ticket trials are won on legal technicalities which can include:

• the essential elements of the charge,
• cross-examination of the evidence given by officers
• legal technicalities in law, including any
• legal motions or applications

The essential element can include:

• the offence happened on a roadway
• the driver was operating a motor vehicle
• they were observed speeding by a police officer, who
• recorded a speed, above the legal limit
• the defendant, was the driver of the vehicle

The police and prosecution are required to prove the case to the court beyond a reasonable doubt.

In traffic court the police officer has to prove, the who, what, when, where and the how of a speeding ticket. For example, to prove the “how” the officer has to prove that the speed measuring device they used to record the vehicle speeding was working properly.

Whilst fighting your ticket court we look at:

• legal defences
• legal arguments
• cross-examination of police witness
• presenting applicable speeding case law
• disproving the evidence and creating a reasonable doubt

Once a police officer has given evidence of your speed, the defence is then allowed to cross-examine the police officer.

During cross-examination the defence looks at:

• discrediting the officers evidence,
• showing where mistakes may have been made,
• challenging that the speed measuring device was used properly
• showing the justice that you’re not guilty of speeding

In traffic court, experience counts. Knowing how to conduct a trial and cross-examine police officers comes only with experience.

Having spend years in traffic court OTT has the experience to be your trial advocate.

OTT Legal does the work of fighting your speeding ticket for you. In preparing your case for trial we will;

• file any legal arguments or motions
• review your case for any “fatal errors”.
• order the officers notes, including the testing procedures, radar manuals, and disclosure.
• check that the speeding ticket was filed properly at the court. (also known as the “Filing Date”).
• appear on your your behalf in court (drivers are not usually required to attend in court for speeding trials).
• object to any legal motions from the prosecution where required
• challenge the officer’s evidence at court.
