Middlesex County Speeding Lawyers

Some of the challenges our Middlesex traffic lawyers face to speeding tickets are

• • The radar gun wasn’t correctly calibrated within the proper time limits. Tests from radar guns that do not meet routine standards should be invalid.

• • The officer did not use the radar gun properly. The officer should be trained appropriately. If he was driving while he/she clocked you, that may affect the results.

• • Other cars were traveling near you. The speed of other vehicles may affect the accuracy of the test.

• • Weather conditions may have affected the results. Rain, wind, cold, or snow can affect the test results.

• • You have a good reason for driving at a high speed. Some valid reasons include a defective car part or a medical emergency. You may have justifiably sped to get out of the way of an oncoming car.

There are many other technical defenses to challenge speed guns that we also explore. Nearby buildings can also distort the reading.

We may also cross-examine the police officer. If we can show that the officer didn’t clock you for a sufficient amount of time or was distracted, we can cast doubt on the officer’s claim.

If the police have an airtight case, our lawyers still try to persuade the officer to reduce the speeding ticket to a less severe amount. For example, a reduction from 15 mph to 14 mph means fewer points on your driver’s record, lower fines, and, most likely, lower premiums.
