	News: Van driver uses GPS data to beat speeding fine A van driver clocked by a speed gun travelling at 61mph in a 50mph zone has used GPS data to successfully challenge the prosecution. Gareth Powell, was driving along the A4174 near Bristol in November 2008 when he was recorded allegedly speeding. Powell was so certain that he was travelling within the limit that he contacted Navman Wireless who operated the vehicle tracking equipment installed in his van. Tracking records showed that the van had in fact been travelling at 48mph. Navman Wireless Director Barry Neill attended court as an expert witness and told the court that the GPS fix was excellent at the time of the alleged offence with eight satellites in view. As a result the case was dismissed by Magistrates on 30th October this year. Whilst this is excellent news it yet again begs the question, how many other prosecutions are based on false or erroneous evidence as in this case? Is it time that laser speed gun equipment was withdrawn whilst it is re-assessed for accuracy? Click here to read more... Click here to discuss...
