Can I appeal a fine for speed and dangerous driving without a photographic evidence - Ireland

[Gordon Gekko]

Something similar happened to me a while back. I wrote a reply to the fixed penalty notice making a number of points specific to the circumstances of my interaction with the Garda in question, the main one being that my speed had not been measured or recorded using an appropriately calibrated device. I received a reply shortly afterwards confirming that the matter was closed.

Ambiguity regarding the 2012 law was corrected by Shane Ross in 2018.

Yep, still amazing how many motorists don't know this. Indeed, shortly after the mandatory use was introduced, the Gardai said that they wouldn't be enforcing it, as to do so would mean they would have to fully enforce penalties on drivers obstructing cycle tracks, and they didn't want to do that as it would adversely affect normal commercial activity!!
