    Some forces still use traffic cars on bridges to trap speeders but not often at all anymore as it's a poor use of resourses when a civy in a van can do a similar job for a lot less.

    That said, to know for certain you'll have to wait for the NIP, notice of intended prosecution to come through, normaly by post. It must be served within 14 days of the offence so 14 days is the limit, forget postage times and whatever else has been said.

    The car may well have been using pro laser or similar which is basicaly a radar gun, if this is the case the officer would have stopped you and given a verbal NIP and ticket or report you for summons if it was deemed you were going to fast.

    Regarding the post above, vascar is a system used inside the car to work out speed using a simple time over distance calculation so speeders can be followed, lost sight of and then located again and the average speed can be used against them. The white marks in the road are used to calibrate the machine, not catch speeders.


    You are so wrong, it only needs to be actioned within 14 days:rolleyes:

    If I am, i'd better get a new job!

    The following lifted directly from Jane's....


    What is the 14 day rule?

    The 14 day rule relates only to the period of time in which the Police/Process Unit must serve the original Notice. In many cases, the registered keeper will be a lease company not the actual driver with the result that even if the driver is unaware of the incident, service of the Notice is good if it was sent to arrive at the registered keeper's last known address within 14 days of the offence.

    I'm pretty sure you're right as well.
