Am I in trouble?
Discussion
I'm not one to normally speed without being pretty sensible about it but earlier today I was cruising at about 85 on a dual carriageway when some teenage tw*t in a VW transporter van came and sat within inches of my back bumper. Normally, now I'm older and have more important things to worry about, I'd move over and let him get on with it but today I was in no mood and put my foot down.
It was an empty stretch of road ahead for half a mile or so and I was now doing about 105 when I saw some cars in the distance brake as they approached a bridge, I did the same and as I passed under it there were two small cameras mounted on tripods on the bridge, nobody standing with them and a van with the word 'first' (didn't catch the rest) on the side at the side of the bridge. At the next bridge were two police motorbikes but they stayed put as I went under. I was still doing over the limit until about 300m from the cameras. Incidentally, as I was slowing, the van flew past, must have been at 90 - 100 under the bridge but the police bikes weren't interested on him either.
The Mrs reckons it's ANPR and nothing to worry about but I'm not convinced, any advice?
