sort of newbe with a speeding question

[mr-confused]

Hey all, ive been a lurker for a while but now have the need to delve into the infinate know how of PH. Last night I may have broken the speed limit past a police car, it was parked up in a layby (dark and raining at the time) it was facing me with lights off, I pulled off the road that id been on and a minute or so later i got headlights in the mirror, fair distance off and no pull again i turned off a few minutes later and saw nothing more, im just paranoid that they can get photographic evidence or such like in the dark, anybody care to cheer me up or do i have the 14 day sit tight rule to sweat out?
Im really sorry to annoy you all with such a reposty question but im just paranoid and wont settle till i know, thanks in advance! and sorry for the long winded explanation that doesnt make sence.

Aye, I wouldn't worry. The driver was probably getting a nosh from the redhead wpc in the passenger seat.

If it is an actual police police car from my knowledge if they see something they don't like they will pull you there and then. In my experience they very rarely send NIP's in the post. Similar has happened to me afew times and i have never heard a thing.

Maybe they didn't have their speed camera thing(?) on and saw u speed past them so followed you, but you, being paranoid, slowed down and their machine didn't pick you up as speeding, so they left it.

Was it a traffic car? I'd be suprised if it did have a laser with camera in dark conditions. Scamera vans have the cameras and I've not known them to be used after dark.

Personally I wouldn't be too worried.

Saw one deployed in Loughborough last night after dark and in the rain. Very rare though and the rain will have reduced the range/effectiveness of the Lidar.

I would say it's highly unlikely you will get a NIP in the post after being seen speeding by a traffic officer. They may have been taking a break or had ANPR running with an infra-red lamp or something.
