Successful s.172 Trial: No Notice Received by Defendant.

Millicent Dooher represented this motorist at the Magistrates’ Court following a charge of speeding and a charge of failing to provide driver information (under s.172). This driver contended that he did not receive the s.172 notice or the reminder notice. He could also demonstrate that his vehicle was not likely to be in the location of the speeding offence due to his vehicle’s geo-fencing capabilities. The Magistrates accepted the motorist’s evidence and found him Not Guilty of the s.172 offence and awarded a defence costs order. The Prosecution withdrew the speeding offence.
