Advice on Speeding Offence for a time and location I was not at

    Hi there,

    I got a speeding ticket (Camera Van I suspect) for Tuesday the 22 Feb at 05:42 in the morning for Spital Land on the N24 Limerick. First of all, does anyone actually know where Spittal Land is in Limerick?

    I was however in Limerick (Cresent Shopping Center) shopping on Sunday the 20th. I was sure I was within the speed limits. There was a bad car accident that day and traffic was diverted in and out of Limerick from the Tipperary side. So, I had all that in mind and was convinced I never broke the speed limit.

    So my question is, is it possible for them to have the dates wrong and it was meant to be the 20th instead of the 22nd? Plus the time also is wrong. If this is the case, would this be struck out of court?

    What if, it was really me they caught on the Sunday (that is, the photo shows me in the car) but the system shows it as a Tuesday. Given the time of day, I have no witnesses to say I was not there on the alleged Tuesday morning. If it had been during work hours, I would have the work cameras to prove I was at work.

    The license plate in the speeding ticket is my license plate number! I wonder could it be a car with a fake plate? Its highly unlikely, and perhaps it was there system that is incorrect. The speed I was supposed to be doing was 63KM in a 50KM zone!

    Any comments welcome. If there are any solicitors on the forum that would like to hint at what I might do, please do.

    (Note, I posted this post to the motoring section, prior to discovering this thread. Apologies.)

    You won't get legal advice here. All the things you mentioned are possible. A solicitor will be the only one to tell you if you have a defence.

    Is it possible that you were driving on the N24 around 5.42 on tuesday 22nd morning?

    Ok I'll ask a solicitor. Thanks.

    And yes, I was never there at that time. I travel to work in Cork everyday, the opposite direction ;-)

    This type of question is, as previously mentioned, best suited for a solicitor or perhaps ring the Gardaí for clarification.
