The apology is because I know this post doesn't belong in this section but I have a question and was highly recommended asking you guys on here.

Pulled over last night by a hand held speed gun. Going too quickly in a 30 (it's two lanes, never would of guessed a 30 - apart from the sign the police officer kindly pointed out). Anywhere he tells me that I was going to quick and asks where I'm off to whilst his colleague radios in my reg plate asking for an MOT check. He then asks for my licence. As I hand it over he only has time for quick glance before handing it back and running to the car saying it's your lucky night, obviously they had an emergency call.

They have my reg plate - which is worryingly my boss' car and I was working! Hence why I don't want to wait and see if I get a ticket - panicking!

But I didn't get a ticket and he did say you're lucky.

Can I expect a ticket? Should I be fearing for my job?

Thanks and again many apologies. Will go back for reading some posts of yours!

Really, how did this happened, is it robotic?

Is your point really that clever that you needed to make it twice? Perhaps in case other people couldn't keep up with your wit?

He said it was your lucky night, surely that is pretty clear?

As a Police Dispatcher I can tell you not to worry - that small speeding matter would have been instantly dropped and the Dispatcher doing the checks would automatically close them and concentrate only on the emergency. They won't even have gone back back to it.

Forget it.
