Garda speed guns are always calibrated correctly according to our laws, can't find the links as search is down. Too many people where winning cases when the gun wasn't correctly calibrated so they changed the law.

Law states that the device is correct until proven otherwise.

In regard to the cert it is kept in the station by the Supt for the regular unit or Sergeant in charge for Traffic units. It does not have to be shown at the side of the road. You ma request to see the cert in court but that is generally a remand to a new date for hearing to allow AGS to provide the cert......so another day in court.

Hope this helps.

A calibration cert is meaningless unless it can be shown that it is the cert belonging to the device that was used in your offence. You would need to get the device serial number from the Garda @ the roadside & they would need to show the corresponding cert to prove the device was calibrated, IMO.

suck it up & pay the fine is the way to go.

I agree. Unless OP you have a lot of spare time, money and patience I wouldnt be advising going down this road.

€80 and two points. C'est la vie.

you should try this bad boy called the Valentine 2001. if a cop is on your ass this thing will give you 15seconds to react and bring your speed down provided theyr not using laser gun. If they are,you need a jammer that can be adjusted by you in the way that you can turn it off once your speed is normal in order to remove suspicion from cops. I would recommend the "Blinder". You will find any of these on a uk website http://www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk/btst.htm

But (a) that is illegal (b) they can detect your jammer.

Gardai dont use Radar.

The laser gun can detect a jammer and gives a jammer detected signal when pointed at a car with one in it.

Ease off the pedal in all the usual spots and you should be grand.
