Hi Folks,
I will keep this as short as possible - A friend of mine who is retired was travelling into Cork City by car and was approaching an area where traffic slows down from 100kmh to 60kmh to allow merging traffic safely blend in with current traffic.
In the distance my friend who was car seven in a succession of cars noticed a Garda Speed Check up ahead. While continuing his speed controlled by the cars in front he was beckoned by the Garda as he approached the Checkpoint to pull over for questioning.
On stopping his car the Garda took down his details and informed my friend that he had exceed the speed limit which was 60kph by 26kph doing 86kph which my friend disputes.
In the interaction with the Garda, the Garda proceeded to the front of the Vehicle and took down the Reg No. of the vehicle.
Subsequently my friend received a letter in the post for €80.00 and 2 points on his licence.
The question is - my friend dsputes doing 86KMH in a 60kmh zone and on asking the garda why he was pulled in - the reply he got was hat they always catch at least one.
Can he request evidence that he broke the law as this does not seem evident?
Thanks in advance for your replies!!
