Sorry mate.. but i think you may well do.
I got fined £60 for 39 mph in a 30mph limit
If i had been pretty and a woman instead of ugly and a man i think i may have got away with it.
 :-[ :-[ :-[

this is why when i do 30 in 30 zone every1 want me to go faster

and hate me

but i dont get ticket for them  ...

people would never learn about speed limit.

Just been down to stow to pick up some bits for the other half. Got caught at about85 by police doing checks on M5. Do you think I will get a ticket ? There were others going pat me at the time  ::)

Did they actually stop you Psychnurse, or was it a mobile camera unit that 'snapped' you?; they do record your number plate, speed, date, time, etc.

If you were stopped were you told that you would be reported for speeding, and if so what speed did they record?

Some years ago motorway police only  generally bothered with any vehicle that was exceeding 90 mph, unless being driven "dangerously" or "recklessly".  However, a new dictate from the Home Office has demanded Police meet new, increased, targets for apprehending speeding motorists,  with individual Traffic officer's now required to be far less descretionary and lenient than before.  Indeed, I'm sorry to say Psychnurse the chances are that if you have been stopped and reported for speeding at 85+ then you will be prosecuted. :'( :'( :'(

If you were not stopped, then you may be ok as perhaps they didn't actually record you speeding.  You will not know for about two weeks; if no letter has arrived by then you probably have escaped a fine / penalty points.



No did not get stopped. it was an officer with a handheld type device. not a mobile cctv van or anything.

one for hotel 21 - are there hand held ANPRs that could be used in this way by an officer on his own???

definately a police officer and not dvla or traffic survey? my thoughts here are that if there's an officer on his own he'd have a speed detection device and would radio ahead any speeder details to a cop car parked in a layby some distance up the road...

You won't get a speeding ticket so stop worrying.  :)

On the other hand, you might.   :(

If you do, just think of it as a speed tax. You'll feel better about it then.  :y

If it was a single officer with a speed gun, and no-one stopped you, then you should have escaped a fine as they were probably targeting faster drivers who would have been stopped.  :y
