Default Opps... Speeding

While coming home on the motorway tonight I was traveling rather fast, I faild too see a motorway cop car sat on the opposite side of the road, by the time I saw it there was little I could do. So I slowed down (a bit, didn't wanna look obvious) and as you do, looked in my rear view mirror with that sort of metalic taste in my mouth. Now the thing is he deffo put the blues on, but that was it, will have clocked me? do they have the capability to record the speed of a car approaching them? and do they have the ability to ID the car?

even with a radar gun they cant really id the car and send points out. theyd have to stop you and give you as fixed penalty notice thing.

youll have to worry for 14 days ,but i doubt youve been caught,anyway,i think it mighta been a warning ,best thing to do is brake to show the lights,then youve shown them some respect,pluss he may have just had a call for a totally different incedent ,and was begining to make progress to that one.
