had to deliever a car up to Birmingham on Wednesday of last week and may of got caught doing 90-95mph on the M6.

the reason i say maybe is because on a bridge on the way up i saw what can only be described as a 'white bubble' on a tripod, on the way down i saw a similar device with a scamera van on the bridge too.

but immediately afterwards in both directions there were plenty of "chase" vehicles, including a police motorbike and several volvos (plus others) having pulled people over.

i presume it is somesort of mobile camera linked to the van, but as i wasn't "chased" then have i got away with it? was i below a threshold or do i expect something in the post?

if i have been caught what's the likely outcome of 90 in a 70 zone?

That sounds very much like an ANPR check to me.
You are probably fine - take it as a warning for the next time, perhaps?

what is an ANPR check?

i have been driving for 6 years now and have a clean license, but if i get caught i accept the fact i was speeding, it was my fault... bit pissed off i didn't see them though but there's nothing i can do if i do get caught!
