Wait and see.

If you speedo was indicating 85-90 it's unlikely you were travelling that fast.

Just wait and see what you receive, if anything.

(then throw it in the bin.......lol)

Yeah its touch and go mate i got done doing an average of 97-104 mph 2 years back on the m25 and all they gave me was 21 days ban and Ł210 fine, if its a first offence then they would also take that into consideration

i was caught doing 100.4 in a 70 measured over 1/4 mile.

Was standing on the brakes to get in dowm that far

6 points & Ł600 - i did take my solicitor with me to get that

Could easily have been a ban

Even if you get a ban it would probably only be 8 weeks as is what my pal got for doing 118 on his bike.
Goes in no time

Good luck pal

30+ mph = ban in most cases
depends on how many warning signs there were, they hav to let you know there is a speed trap operating in the area, the guy on top gear said so last night
