Dear lawyer,
I am Tobias Weise and I have a question regarding traffic law. I am still in the probationary period and I was caught speeding. I am aware that this is a serious violation and I am very concerned about possible consequences.
The situation was as follows: I was on my way to work and accidentally exceeded the speed limit. I got caught speeding and now I am afraid that I may face a severe penalty that could jeopardize my probationary period. I have not accumulated any points in Flensburg so far and I am determined to avoid anything that could endanger my driver's license.
Therefore, my question to you as an expert: What penalty am I facing for speeding during the probationary period? Are there any possibilities to mitigate or even avoid the penalty? I am willing to take responsibility for my misconduct and would like to know what steps I should take now to find the best possible solution for this situation.
Thank you in advance for your help and advice.
Sincerely,
Tobias Weise
Dear Mr. Weise,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding a speeding violation during your probationary period. As an expert in traffic law, I understand your concern and the possible consequences that you may be facing. It is important that you address this matter promptly in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
First and foremost, I would like to inform you that a speeding violation during the probationary period is particularly serious. During this period, stricter rules apply and the consequences for traffic offenders are typically harsher. A speeding violation could result in a fine, points on your driving record, and potentially even a remedial driving course for beginners. In severe cases, your license could also be revoked.
There are various ways to mitigate or even avoid the penalty. One option is to seek assistance from an experienced attorney specializing in traffic law. An attorney can file an appeal on your behalf and potentially negotiate a reduced penalty. Additionally, an attorney can review the accuracy of the speed measurement and identify any possible errors that could work in your favor.
It is crucial that you address this matter promptly and not simply wait. The sooner you take action, the better you can respond to the situation and potentially avoid the consequences. Do not hesitate to seek professional help to defend your rights to the best of your ability.
I hope that my response is helpful to you and I am available to answer any further questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Hildegard Falk
Traffic Law Attorney
