Social Media User Shares Controversial Tips on Avoiding Speeding Fines, Sparks Online Debate
Madrid, Spain – A recent video by social media personality Julián Cruz, known as @juliwheels, has sparked considerable debate online after he shared two methods he claims can help drivers avoid paying speeding fines. Cruz, who recently received a ticket for driving 106 km/h in a 100 km/h zone, presented these 'tricks' to his followers.According to Cruz, the first method involves scrutinizing the evidence provided by fixed speed cameras. He asserts that if a fixed radar, not operated by traffic police or civil guard, fails to provide two distinct photographs of the infraction, the fine is invalid. 'It needs two photos, not one, not two, but two,' Cruz emphasized in his video, suggesting that without both, drivers can avoid payment.The second 'trick' highlighted by Cruz relates to the margin of error for speed cameras. He claims that a 7% margin of error applies, meaning that if a driver's recorded speed falls within this percentage above the limit, the fine should be contested. He used his own experience of being caught at 106 km/h in a 100 km/h zone as an example, stating, 'It falls within the 7% margin of error? Yes. Therefore, I don't pay it.'However, the claims have been met with skepticism and counter-arguments from viewers. Several comments on the video suggest that the 'two photos' rule is an 'urban legend' and that authorities often have multiple images or can provide them upon request. Furthermore, many users pointed out that the margin of error for speed cameras in Spain has been reduced to 5% or even 3% since 2018, not 7%, and that vehicle speedometers typically show a slightly higher speed than the actual speed. One commenter noted, 'Since 2018, the margin was reduced from 7 to 5% in fixed radars.' Another added, 'You were fined for going 106 by radar, which is 115 by speedometer,' implying that the actual speed was higher than perceived.Traffic authorities consistently advise drivers to adhere strictly to speed limits to ensure road safety and avoid penalties, irrespective of margins of error or photographic evidence requirements.
