they have 14 days to issue a Notification of Intended Prosecution

Looks like you're in the clear

probably no film in the camera lol

An indicated 45 is probably a real 42 or 43 mph.

The trigger would be at least 46 (guideline is 10%+2)
So you are probably in the clear

If it's your own car, and registered correctly, then they have 14 days. If it's a company car or newly registered then there could be a delay (though doubt that is the case here)

All car speedometers over-record to varying degrees. I've just fitted a trip computer, and mine is 6 mph over (ie. 20/30/40/50 mph on the dial, 14/24/34/44 mph on the display). Both use the same electrical speed pulse, BTW.

Hope you struck lucky and heard nothing?!

Can't someone admonish you for your reckless lifestyle?

They have 14 days but 45 wouldnt get you anyway. its usally 10% of the speed limit plus 3, so 36 in a 30 47 in a 40 and so on.
I got done doing 37 in a 30 but the camera was about 2 meters from the sign where it changes from a 50 to a 30 zone! I was braking at the time lol
