It is not uncommon for us to be browsing through social networks and come across some report about an application of unfairly imposed fine. Sometimes it can just be a driver's annoyance, but there are some cases where gauges can actually fail, as they are machines after all.
In this way, it is very important to be able to identify when there has been a failure, as well as to know what are your rights and how to claim them, in case of any assessment done in a way incorrect.

An example on the case is a radar installed on the federal highway BR-101 Sul, which has 60 km/h as the maximum speed allowed, in the metropolitan region of Natal, where several drivers reported that there was a failure in the device, including a video on social networks, in which a car passes by the radar at 40 km/h, while the equipment registers 133 km/h.
Another recent case illustrates the scene well: Driver Jeferson Santos Barbosa, who works as a pharmacy delivery man in the city of Alagoinhas (BA), he received 25 traffic fines in the same day, thus accumulating a debt of more than R$ 4 thousand.
In addition to Jeferson, other drivers reported the same radar and some others scattered throughout the city. The case reached the State Bar Association (OAB), as several irregular fines were presented.
How to act in cases of improper fine
After receiving proper notification of the assessment, all drivers have the right to file an appeal. It is important for the driver to check the date and time of the fine, the model of equipment used, whether the photo on the report matches the recorded speed and check if the speed measuring device was correctly calibrated by the Inmeter.
In the event that any information is inconsistent or incorrect in the assessment, or the driver is not satisfied with the information, it is necessary to see which agency is responsible for the assessment, filing an appeal with the transit authority competent.
To apply, you must have one of these documents:
- Infraction notice or document showing the license plate and number of the traffic infraction notice;
- Copy of notification of assessment or penalty, depending on the case.
If the appeal is still denied, it is possible to appeal to one of the Infraction Appeals Administrative Boards (Jari), requesting a new defense request.
