Speed Camera Offenses

Whether on motorways, rural roads, or within or outside built-up areas: speed cameras record violations in numerous locations. We explain the best course of action here.

Caught by a speed camera?

Anyone who has exceeded the speed limit and been caught by a speed camera is naturally annoyed. This mistake often proves costly: in addition to a fine and points in Flensburg, a driving ban may also be imposed.

To challenge an accusation of a speeding violation, expertise in traffic law and technical knowledge are essential. Our experienced traffic law attorneys are happy to assist you if you have been caught speeding.

Generally, it can be worthwhile to have the measurement or the measurement procedure checked for errors – however, this can only be done by a lawyer, as only a lawyer is permitted to inspect your file.
