Could they have caught me?

1. Maybe. Video / recording not strictly necessary. If 2 officers witnessed the incident, their word alone might be enough to convict.

2. Yes.

3. Not a problem issuing a NIP after the event.

4. Maybe, probably depends whether the police think you did a runner after spotting them..

I would have thought you'd be terribly unlucky to receive anything as a consequence of this little incident.

Thanks.

In regards to question 1, do you know if the ANPR system can scan plates up to 300m+ away?

Also, If as you say, two officers alone alledged I was doing X speed, surely I can challenge this, given they have no factual recordings of what speed I was doing?

You can challenge it if you like but on what basis?

The road is a 40 zone and I was doing somewhere in the region of 60-70 (Dumb! I know).

You've just admitted on a public forum you think you were doing 60-70mph in a 40!!

If the police don't get you the metric martyrs should.

You would have to counter long-standing case law if you challenged on that basis alone.

You may (or may not) be surprised to learn that there are those who do trawl this site looking for 'interesting' snippets.

They may have been answering a call which had nothing to do with you and your car.
If they had clocked your numberplate you'd be receiving a visit from them quite shortly after the incident I would have thought (or are you cuffed at the moment?!)
Take it as a wake up call.....

[Roo]

Yes, sorry. I was being flippant.

ZZZZZZZ Understood what I was joking about.

yes they are, but it gets to plod and I know of one couple on a vw forum that posted about having got away with a ban etc for points as the partner had taken them for the other (not the hunes or however you spell their name). they posted about it and couple of weeks later were charged with PCJ and the original speeder lost their licence as well.

be careful out there
