Minorplanet claim that fines had been cancelled using their reports.
“‘Mostly it is due to a faulty setting on the camera. But a cancellation of the fine is normally as a direct result of a telematics report, used as proof,” said operations director Andrew Tilman.
In another case a driver was able to prove he parked his car at 8.59 am after being accused of contravening a 9 am no parking rule.
