Overview

• The DGT has escalated summer road surveillance with cameras, drones and patrols to curb speeding, mobile phone use and seatbelt violations.
• Courts continue to annul up to 43 percent of speed fines after finding misapplied radar error margins and formal dossier irregularities.
• Pyramid Consulting’s July 23 guidelines advise drivers to check citation details, document procedural flaws and assemble evidence to improve appeal success.
• Data show that 50 fixed radars issued one-third of all speeding tickets in 2024; secondary roads that account for 70 percent of traffic deaths remain largely under-monitored.
• With over 10,000 daily speeding citations and 3.5 million fines last year, motorists face high enforcement pressure and substantial grounds for challenging unfair sanctions.
