Driving earlier going over speed limit, see policeman with laser gun in distance but Im turning off before reaching him. I knew I was over the limit, so decided to drive back around to him to see if I had been caught, would save a two week wait.
Turns out I had been caught, but he was pleased that I'd come around to him and put my hands up owning up to my mistake, he let's me off with a warning smile was at court speed as well so I'm glad he used his discretion as the speed itself wasn't actually dangerous. Newfound respect and I won't be speeding for a longtime.

Yeah I understand why he's posting that, but I'm glad the policeman decided to use his discretion rather than give me a day in court.

I assumed it was just left on the car, he was about 20 metres from it.

What speeds (your's and the limit) were involved?
If you answer this, the thread will most likely go only one way OP...
I deliberately didn't put this in the post as I know what the comments would be.
