Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court found the defendant guilty of speeding by 24 km/h in a residential zone with a 50 km/h limit. Although the defendant claimed a sign allowed 70 km/h, the court rejected this argument due to the absence of evidence and contradictions with police testimony. Consequently, the defendant was fined 300 PLN, but exempted from court costs due to low income.
