Overturned gatso fine in Germany

[mr_tony]

Spotted this on www.autoexpress.co.uk (and I quote) :

quote:In a landmark German court case, a driver has successfully overturned a speeding fine after proving that the Gatso camera which snapped him was not placed at an accident hotspot.

Euro lawmakers are still deciding whether or not the case applies in other countries.

Hmmmm now if the European Courts can agree that this should be valid across Europe, then that would be nice ;-)

Good on him
Hopefully the same principal applies over here

Its on the ABD web site under news. Apparantly a camera has to be on a proven accident black spot and this wasn't.

Funny this, no reports to be found in Germany about this!!! Nor is there any mentionof which court/county etc. I think this may be doubtful!
Anyone got further info?

Have had a nose about for any specific info, but haven't found anything.
Anyone else?
