Frequently asked questions

I received a fine. Is it worth challenging?
It depends on the evidence, the notification and the legal framing of the ticket. Many cases have defects that lead to dismissal. We review the ticket and tell you frankly whether a defence has merit — before you decide to pay.
My licence is about to be suspended. Can I avoid it?
In certain cases it is possible to request a reduced sanction, suspension of its enforcement, or to challenge the decision. Success depends on the type of offence, your driving record and how the case was processed.
What is the deadline to present a defence?
As a rule, 20 business days from notification to submit a written defence. After the deadline, options narrow drastically — contact us as soon as you receive the notification.
