60 in a 50!!!!
Discussion
60mph indicated in a 50mph zone on the A316 elevated section, North bound this evening.
I went past a parked X5 traffic car and speed gun pointed at me. I passed and they look at me but did not follow.
If they were interested in giving me a ticket, would they follow me and stop me to do so? Or are some speed guns able to video record and they may well send a NIP later in the post?

It is possible for the officer to note your details and send paperwork out in the post. Much more likely though, that at an indicated 60, so probably actual speed of circa 55-58, you were small fry and not worth stopping.
Most would rather stop you at the time, as it negates the need for some of the admin. My guess is that you have nothing to worry about at those margins.

He's not even small fry, he's under the recommended threshold for prosecution for all but 1mph of the potential actual speeds you've quoted. Most would rather stop you at the time, as it negates the need for some of the admin. My guess is that you have nothing to worry about at those margins.
No chance of a ticket.

If he's doing 57 upwards then there is the potential for a ticket/sac. But yes...as I said, unlikely.

If they didn't stop you and the speed gun didn't have a camera attached then you'll be fine. They can't simply note down the speed reading and your registration - video/photographic evidence using a properly calibrated device is required.Most would rather stop you at the time, as it negates the need for some of the admin.
