Victorian Supreme Court has backed an accused speeder's right to secret government documents that should reveal the accuracy and service history of speed camera
the precedent could allow every driver to demand access to previously secret speed camera data when challenging their speeding fines.
Until now drivers have had to hire expensive experts to help prove the cameras may be faulty.
Driver Barry Lane had been fined five times in 19 days claims the cameras were malfunctioning.
His lawyers hope the reports will prove he had not been speeding.
"This decision provides new hope to motorists . . . by providing an avenue to test the reliability or accuracy of the speed camera, which recorded the speed,'' he said.
