    No

    You still broke the law, doesn't matter if the numbers are wrong you were still wrong , a judge will correct any administration errors

    It's possible. It's covered on their website. Usually on the ticket it states where you were caught if you can show the ticket it's wrong it falls under category A of their procedures. Category A

    Cancellation requests falling within this category include –

    Where there is a detection issue / material error in relation to the alleged offence as outlined on the FCN e.g. incorrect speed limit.

    i wasn't inferring that

    but isnt the fine a legal document

    so if it costs 5 euro to send a reg letter just add it on the price of the speeding fine,

    i'd rather pay the extra fiver than have a squad car pulling up outside with a summons to go to court
