Do they usually come straight after you? It was a 4X4, which makes me assume it was static and they just send any fines out in the post?

How long does it take to recieve? It was Saturday morning.

It could have been an ANPR one, checking insurance, tax an MOT.

But as col said would be around two weeks if not mate.

did it have black and white chequer things on? if so, that's checking tax/mot/insurance.

regularly see them around here and not had anything through.

were you on the road alone? if it was busy theres a good chance they wouldn't have been concentrating on your car.

Can't remember mate! The road was quite busy, but the fast lane everyone seemed to be speeding by a fair way! I slowed to around 85-90 when I saw them.

if nobody chased you then i wouldn't be worrying as much, especially at that speed.
Good luck.

Sometimes they just hang about checking things other than speed of waiting for a certain car they are trying to intercept.

Best thing to do is not worry, its only money really. Probably spend more on fuel a week.

I've been getting right into speeding recently. Fed up with not speeding only for car in front to disappear and someone catching me up. And its always mature people, never young drivers being wreckless, its older people being ignorant.

I like overtaking them doing 70-80mph when they are doing 50mph in a 40mph.

Its the only way to feel less stressed about other peoples driving, let them have it instead.

Could it have been the highways agency? They have a habit of lurking and pretending to be police cars, they are always 4x4's

Coppers tend to have range rovers dont they, rather than the nancy boy Rav-4's and whatever the Mitsubishi 4x4 is called

Seen an undercover one in a range rover evoque last week. Was wondering why they would need such a car as they are a just vanity car for school runs. Then again its only our tax money

Why bother paying to get them removed? Only reason mine got removed was because I passed my trailer test. Just leave it till you have to change something, if they've got to print a new one, points gone FOC.
