Tip: have a speed camera photo sent to you!

Sometimes you do not immediately receive a fine/warning notice from the relevant authority, but only a so-called hearing form. Here you should enter the driver, since the authorities can only determine the owner based on the license plate number – but the car may well have been driven by someone else. (See also: rental car speed cameras) In order to save effort, the authorities only rarely send the speed camera photo (“proof photo”). Even if you are pretty sure that you drove yourself, it is always a good idea to request the photo as evidence first. Simply write a short letter or email asking the authorities to send you the photo. The photo will then be sent to you free of charge.
