Was it a squad car as in normal police car or a safety camera unit? If its a regular police car you'l be okay i think.

they cant just say "you were speeding" they have to give details. so they need a speed gun or to stop you but to be honest thats unlikely.
Camera unit and over 79 i think you'l get points.

Thing is, where they were stopped they wouldn't be able to pull out and stop me very easily, so I'm not if that's why they were there.


Were they pointing a speed gun at you?  If they weren't, then don't worry, they wouldn't be able to prove how fast you were going in court.

It pains me to say it but I think you will be ok.  If they were that bothered they would have come after you.

If it was me I would have come after you, pulled you over and done the old 'Oh dear sir, you seem to have a faulty rear light, but it was fine this morning, (smashes light with truncheon) well it isn't now' routine.

Ah but they do have to have evidence.  "I thought his speed was excessive, Your Worship" doesn't stand the test.

Unless they were pointing a speed trap at you, you should be fine. The cameras in squad cars measure the average speed over a certain distance (this is what the white circles/squares/diamonds on dual carriage ways are for), but they have to be following you while they film it.

Conclusion, you should be fine Sonic, unless it's one of those fancy new camera unit things

I was going about 115 down Blunsdon Hill a couple of years ago then noticed there was a squad car waiting in the middle of the road, slammed on the brakes as there was no-one else on the road and got down to about 80 as I went past, thought they were going to come after me or then send a letter but they didn't. :beers
