Why this measure?

LEMG is aimed, among other things, at certain first substantial speeding offences. EMG may follow in cases of more serious speeding, combined or deliberately dangerous driving behaviour and repetition.

Check the police report

Compare the decision with the official report, speed after correction, location, driver category and previous registrations. A measure must meet statutory criteria.

Objection and participation

An objection is generally possible within six weeks, but does not stop the decision from taking effect. Therefore, continue to monitor payment and participation deadlines.
