It's a worry isn't it?

Went through one at 36 in a 30 and hardly dared look at the mail in the morning for the next 3 weeks. Didn't get anything from it (thankfully). Like you, the camera was a mobile one in a van on the other side of the road. 5 week on, still no letter so I think I will be OK.

Hopefully, your luck will hold.

I got pulled doing 51 in a 40 by a cop hiding away with a speed gun. Got away with it, told him a little sob story.

Hopefully you'll be ok! I think the police now have 28days to send you a letter and not 14, my old man got 1 last week and it said something about notifying within 28days.

I got my letter through on saturday 58mph in a 30, dont have to go to court though, looking to get 6points and a good fine.

Traffic police are absolute c*nts round my area, on friday 13th they went out and hid in all sorts of places with speed guns, caught me doing 45 at the top of a hill just where it changes to a 30 mph zone from a 40, gave me 3 points and a 60 quid fine. Absolute wankers!
