Red-Light Ticket Disputes - Traffic Lawyer
Measurement issues, driving-ban risk, and defence options in Germany

If you are accused of a red-light violation, the key issues are usually the measurement basis, the evidence, and whether points or a driving ban are at stake.

These issues usually matter most:

  • Review of the photo evidence, the measurement basis, and the notice
  • Assessment of points, driving-ban exposure, and other consequences
  • Evaluation of whether the evidence looks robust or attackable
  • Clear lawyer guidance on the most sensible next step

You receive a clear first assessment of how robust the red-light allegation appears and how you should respond.

Important to know: In red-light cases, the evidence position, measurement details, and precise classification of the allegation often matter a great deal.

Do red-light offences always lead to points or a driving ban?

That depends on the exact classification of the allegation and the circumstances of the case.

Can the evidence in red-light cases be challenged?

Depending on the records, yes. The measurement basis and documentation should be reviewed early.

Is this similar to other road-traffic fine allegations?

Yes, but the exact measurement and evidence situation is often quite specific.

Fast case processing, very friendly contact, would gladly use their services again (not the accident itself, but the handling of the case by Dr. Lerch...)

Mr. Lerch provided me with highly professional, calm, and dedicated support throughout my legal proceedings. I particularly appreciated his honest assessment of my case and the clear communication he maintained throughout the entire process. Thanks to his strategy and preparation, we achieved a significantly better outcome than originally anticipated in the penalty order. I felt well-advised and taken seriously at all times. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Lerch and thank him again for his support. B. Paal
