Just had a track day at Snetterton, where I buggered up the gearbox slightly, so driving home was taken very steadily, and I'd already had my speed fix.

However on the A47 coming back, I came up behind a lorry doing about 50, I was doing 65, and sped up to safely overtake, and 'may' have touched 80 when I saw a camera van on the bridge ahead. What do I expect? A letter, fine and 3 points?

I'm sure he'd have done me for 71mph anyway, as I was driving a BRG MGC with 'Racing' spots on, so I stick out like a sore thumb, and will more than likely be discriminated against because of the car, even though my drive home was sedate apart from that one moment, where my timing couldn't have been worse. Not denying it, just a bit of a shame when you are so careful being aware that you're a prime target, then one moment catches you out.

Nervous two weeks then.

Cheers guys, but I suppose I shouldn't have been going that fast + I think my speedo is out - hopefully the right way!
