Entrapment.
Has anyone been caught speeding by the sly plods that sit in unmarked vans at the side of the road, and got away with it?
I'm positive there is a loop somewhere in this!
Also, It was a 96mph in a 50mph altho I did think it was more with it being national speed limit, so what am I looking at if I have to pay the price??
Points or a short ban?? Anyone has the "unpleasure"

the unpleasure? 96 in a 50, I hope they take your licence off you 
Seriously though do you honestly think you have any reason to defend yourself at that sort of speed? Come on, If I was caught doing that speed on the motorway Id expect to be punished if the officer who caught me thought it nessisary but in a 50 zone and you feel you must fight it?Bend over and take it.... Saying that if your really Ugly then its best you dont...lol
JOKE btw

No they dont, Im sure pretty much everyone who has ever graced these forums have sped, but presuming its miles out of the limit like yourself then most people would accept theyve been caught breaking the limit by some major margin and accept it.

Yes I admit to breaking speed limits, never in a 30/40 or built up town area's, and I'm sure if most people are honest when a nice stretch of road appears all nice and clear with nation speed limit signs they hit the gas.

Burn is hell for your speeding.
When I used to design traffic enforcement picture boxes I was told if the plod did not display any speed camera signs up its classed as entrapment. might be worth a try or get your flame suit on cuz I heard hell is hot this time of the year

I assumed it was something to do with pre-warning?

I was speeding yes, but it's hardly crime of the century.
If I can get away with not getting disqualified I will try.

Seriously though, I dont have a problem with you trying to keep your licence. If you was using your works van then a simple letter saying how you need your licence for your job etc from your employer should be enough to get you off a ban but at least admit you was speeding and take the punishment on the chin.

50 zones are "Popping Up" all over the country frequently at Junctions in the middle of no where.
As to unmarked van worth looking into the ACPO guidelines as Partnerships are suppose to only use marked vehicles for enforcement I believe.
Also if it was in the Met Police area they have a White unmarked van with Hard hat etc on the dash so as to look like a builders vans (frequently parked near building sites ) this is ANPR for road tax enforcement not speeding.
If it was a Traffic department they can use unmarked vehicles I believe. Essex Police use an unmarked old beaten up white Transit with a remote Laser gun on a long cable so van is out of sight behind bushes for example. Seen this myself in Harlow.
There are some sites that will have advice about fighting tickets the best person to talk to on here is Hedgehog
Just ignore the criticism above we will all be caught at some time as they keep lowing limits.

How correct, Criticism I can take.
Just the fact that they were unmarked and are trying to do me for a 50 zone when it's clearly not pi88es me off.
