You will lose all command of the English language on a serious note what were they caught by? I am assuming it was a stationery gatso , if so nothing to worry about

if it was a camera taking a picture, you should be ok as it takes 2 pictures and it will show the other car speeding and not you.

If you were not speeding no worries, those little white lines will prove who was

The photo will be analysed in the lab, they will look at both cars and send out a speeding fine to both.

They may get lucky and get 2 x £60 - I'm afraid you are done for as it was a Subaru Impreza - the Police will assume that you were doing something wrong!

You are fine, the white lines on the road prove the speed. Remember your physics lessons, Speed=Distance/Time. The two photos taken are a specific time apart and the white lines are used to calculate the distance travelled between the two photos, therefore calculating your speed. As long as you weren't speeding you are safe.

See what your saying but!!!!!!! How do the police know which car is speeding in the photo, if for instance, both cars were at the same line in the pic?

Because two pictures are taken the white lines are used to see the distance travelled between the the two photos. Even if two cars are present in the pictures, it is obvious which one is speeding.
