Legislator summary

AI generated

The court convicted the defendant of speeding by 22 km/h in a built-up zone and imposed a 200 PLN fine. The defendant denied guilt, claiming the speed limit sign was not yet in effect and that the police officer measured speed before the sign, but the court rejected these explanations as inconsistent with reality. The court determined the offense was complete upon the act of exceeding the speed limit, regardless of the defendant's subjective belief about the sign's location.

Legislator headnote

Art. 92a k.k.; Art. 20 PrDrog: The court established that a traffic violation is a formal offense where the mere act of exceeding the speed limit constitutes the crime, and the defendant's subjective belief regarding the applicability of the speed limit does not negate the objective breach of the statutory regulation.
