Default Speeding ...a couple of questions

Just coming down the M40 in the works van at 95mph , and i spotted a copper in one of the little "police patrol vehicles only" pull ins with a radar gun , can you still get done if there is no warning of a speed trap ahead ? as there was deffinatley no warning signs any where ,also there was no lines on the road so how can they tell which vehicle was speeding if there are 3 of you in a row ?
Could it have possibly been a tax checking gun? or dont they use them on motorways?

What sort of fine and points am i looking at if i do get done ?

they dont have to warn for the laser gun sites mate, but he will have tugged ya if it was a laser gun as thats how they nick ya mate

if it was a camera then thats different as then ya beenn filmed

i had the same thing on the m40 a whle ago in my missus uncles mondeo, was seeing whats the top speed i could get out of it and then i noticed a copper when o went flying past a lorry ( fooking things ), i shit it and broke so hard that the car wobled ( does 130 on the clocks might i add, not bad for a 2.0 ghia x ), he never jumped in the car and i never told her uncle about it either, her brother who was in the car with me grassed me up saying how fast hes car can go a while after when her uncle was bragging the car can do 120mph when he drive in the car with noone about

hes actual line was " thats nothing, ginge got it to over 130 for over 15mins with me, nikki and Elise in the car that day when ya finally let him borrow the car"

ive never been allowed to borrow the car since

Rhys dont want to worry ya but, the lti 20/20 Laser camera can be hooked up to a video plus a camera which is hand held but just the same as a static camera so no need to stop em.

Plus the camera will pin point individual vehicles.

Plus how big are we talking when you say works van, nothing plated ie weight ???

it was deffo a normal patrol car , not one of the sprinter/ transit type camera vans , the copper was holding the gun whilst leaning on the car pointing it up the motorway , about 10 seconds before i got to the gun a police car came past me which then pulled onto the hard shoulder when it had gone past the copper with the gun

will it still be the normal 3 points or will it be more as it was around 95 mph ??

Gaz if the chap had got you and the patrol car was the stopper then he would have come after you imo, but its a wait and see situation mate 14 days fingers crossed.

Im SO glad the politicians are focusing the police attention on trying to catch you rather than wasting their time on chasing around after all the petty criminals like muggers and rapists
