Receiving a speeding ticket can happen to anyone. But did you know that in some cases it is possible to file a dispute and not pay a single euro? Here’s everything you need to know about it. If the device presents these ‘problems’ you can win the appeal, provided that the application is presented within certain limits. But let’s find out all the details.
The Speed Cameras are those electronic devices responsible for speed control on various road sections. They are signaled in advance and require anyone passing on a given street to respect the speed limits.
Every day thousands and thousands of fines are notified to Italian motorists, ‘caught’ in exceeding the speed limits. Speed cameras can be fixed and active both day and night. Some require the mandatory presence of the police in the vicinity, while others act in a completely ‘free’ way.
Reporting is done by means of a photograph taken of the license plate of the car moved at an illegal speed. The report then arrives directly at home several days after the prohibited passage. Photography takes place by means of a double laser source capable of emitting pulses of infrared light. Anyone passing through that stretch of road with speed cameras will be photographed.
Fines vary based on how far the driver has exceeded the limits indicated in that particular stretch of road. But did you know that in some cases it is possible to contest the sanction notified at home? Here are all the details to which to pay close attention in order not to pay even one euro.

In some cases it will be possible to dispute the fine due to reporting the speed camera.

Vertical and horizontal signs must be placed on both carriageways and, as mentioned, be perfectly visible. The motorist must therefore be warned of the presence of this speed control device. The distance between a fixed device and the warning sign cannot be more than 1 kilometre.
Finally, on that particular road subject to the presence of speed cameras, the speed limits not to be exceeded must be perfectly indicated by means of special signs. The fine is contestable even if the photography is blurry and the license plate is not perfectly visible.
But by when to get in motion to make the appeal? The complaint for a fine with a speed camera must be made at Justice of the Peacethrough an explicit request sent within 30 days of notification of the fine for speed limits, exceeded in a given road section subject to the presence of this device.
Furthermore, the appeal can also be made to the prefect. This must be done within 60 days after notification of the speeding penalty. We remind you that in all cases the reasons for the dispute must be evident, clear and absolutely not interpretable or misunderstood.
