Evening all Ok, I was stopped by an unmarked cop car doing a ridiculous speed a couple of months ago on the M5 near Worcester. I normally drive at 65 these days cos i'm getting on and i can't afford the petrol, but this night i was keen to get back so I could meet the chaps for a drink. Anyway, all of that is irrelevant, but I wonder if anyone has any knowledge of this. It was very much a fair cop...I was doing 90-odd and although I spotted them when they were behind me, they'd already taken a reading and pulled me over. they said that "west mercia" would be in touch...why did they use such distancing language? doesn't matter, but it got on my nerves at the time, as if they were somehow not part of it...anyway. so that was 27 Feb...they gave me some paperwork in the car, but I've heard nothing since. surely i can't have been jammy and got away with it somehow, can i? i thought the speed they had registered was faster than i was going, but i wasn't sure...either way it was definitely a court appearance rather than just points and fine. so what do you think has happened? do they have to get in touch within a certain time? or are they just teasing me? any experience? thoughts? suggestions? obviously i'm not going to get in touch with them to ask! i presumed that a computer would just line me up for a court date and i'd have to deal with it. seems a long time to wait to hear anything.... ok, thanks in advance for any replies...
