query it
MOTORISTS were today urged to query speeding tickets after a Suffolk bus driver was falsely accused of thundering through a 30mph limit at 81mph.
Trevor Martin, of Preston Drive, Ipswich, was actually travelling at 29mph when the fixed camera flashed his vehicle, on the A140 at Earl Stonham.
The 43-year-old was able to prove his innocence, as the bus he was driving was fitted with a tachograph, which recorded his speed, and a device preventing it going above 62mph.
Doubt was also cast on speed camera convictions after a hand-held speed gun which clocked a driver doing 132mph was found to be inaccurate
John MacGregor, 34, of Inverness, had been clocked on the A9 by police carrying a ProLaser III gun, which is used extensively across the UK.
However, his car was a "grey import" from Japan which was equipped with a speed limiter which meant it could not go above 112mph, rendering the gun's reading unreliable.
The case at Inverness Sheriff Court yesterday was found not proven and has now thrown doubt over the effectiveness of the device and the legality of prosecutions.
