Traffic
Challenge unfair traffic fines
Not every fine notice is correct. Measurement errors, unclear signage or formal defects can make it challengeable.
When is it worth challenging?
Suspected measurement errors, insufficient signage, wrong vehicle data or formal defects in the notice.
Watch the deadline
Object within 14 days of delivery — the deadline passes quickly. Keep the notice and all documents.
What next?
You can object yourself or use a specialist service that reviews the notice and handles the process.
