not worth risk in court

never admit speeding and get them to tell yuo what evidence they have

follow you and timed over 0.3 off a mile

hich take 0.3 mins at 60

ie under 20 seconds

at 120 is 10 seconds

so they have to nab you for 10 seconds

looks like you were lucky

caught me 73 in a 40

let me have fixed penality as i didnt argue

when you know they have you be very polight

remember its just a tax

Two coppers saying you were speeding is enough evidence to take you to court. Two coppers saying you were doing ton plus is enough evidence for you to need alternative forms of transport.
There isn't a great burden of proof in speeding offences due to the relevant weight placed on the evidence given by the prosecution compared with the defendant.

Mmmm 150 plus,
Take the points, Shake his hand and thank him.
Don't get shirty with them, 'cos you can't win.
Next time, keep an eye in the rear mirror, or step on it big time.

What a pearl of wisdom that one is.
