Just been stopped for speeding

[V6GTO]

Pulled over by a Transit in the "Met" area, the very nice BiB said he'd had a report from "Thames Valley" of a green Noble "Doing well in excess of 100 mph...something something Golf Tango Oscar".
I was let on my way after a check of my licence and insurance after being told "If Thames Valley" request your details I'll pass them on...it's up to them what happens"
Can this bite me in the ar5e later? Or are they unable to prosecute as they don't know how fast I was doing? (My car is the only Noble in the world this colour so I think denying it was me would be pretty futile)

This is an opinion, not a technical answer, but I would have thought that they would need a stronger case to identify you apart from the colour of the car - even if you *think* there is not another orange one, how would you or they actually know?

Sounds a bit flimsy perhaps a bit of a warning,

[biglepton]

They've got no proof it was you. The pull was a precautionary one as they think it will slow you down for the rest of the day. Relax.

OP - says the car is green.

i'd say you wont hear anymore from it, if they want to so something they normally do at the time.

Close!

At this stage one can never know with any certainty what the strength of the evidence is when the 'alleged' speed of V6 letters x 3 was seen travelling at. Did they get a check? Was the stop aborted because of circumstances?. Did they get sufficient to ID V6? etc etc.?

It is presumed that when stopped they did not use the magical words " you will be reported for the consideration of the question of prosecuting for dangerous driving/exceeding a speed limit." This is the verbal NOIP but as it was not given at the time then it will not wash and if they want to proceed then they will have to send a written one (14days excluding date of offence). 2359 30th and nothing received you can breath easily.

say you were en-route to a bug shoot,

If they have sufficient evidence of the limit being exceeded there is nothing to stop the MET passing your details to TVP & a NIP/172 notice sent to the reg keeper.

So how would they know what speed I was doing if they didn't even get my full reg?

All manner of possibilities as to what would constitute enough evidence. They don't have to accurately say what speed you were doing, they only have to show that you were exceeding the limit. If they can say you were definitely doing in excess of 100mph they don't have to say exactly how far in excess of that you were. You won't know until you see what is being alleged & the evidence that supports it, should they decide to issue a summons of course.

TVP sent a report ahead as you were running for the county line? Sheesh those Duke boys are always in trouble with the law...

14 days before you know for sure.

Nothing should come of these events, but your car may be flaggd on the PNC database as a 'vehicle of interest'...?

And so it should! I reckon it's probably one of the most interesting vehicles about.

Martins car looks well like it's doing over 100 MPH even when it's stationery
