I was driving back to Uni the other day, it was drizzling slightly and I was on a dual carriage way with a 70mph limit. I was stuck behind some a**e with a caravan, going between 55 and 75mph.

Going down a hill and round a bend, I went to overtake him at 75, and pulled in front of him, then set my cruise control back to 72.

Just as I went round the bend, I saw a camera van and instinctively put on the brakes - I was going about 65mph when I passed him, but I noticed a red light in the rear window blink as I was right next to it.

I know it’s me being paranoid, but why do you think it happened? Reckon they were catching the guy behind me or is that just how they work?

Normally I’d never worry about doing 72 then 65, but I’m just thinking cause of the drizzle they could be dicks and give me something like inappropriate speed - but it had just started raining and my auto wipers were on intermittent, just to give an idea of conditions.

What do y’all think? Idk why but I woke up at 3am worrying about it 😂
