Hey folks I think me and a few others got caught speeding on Sunday coming back from the jap show 
. We were all on the motorway doing 80-85 mph and we saw 3 cameras pointing down on the road from a bridge above one for each lane. Noones snooper detected them so im hoping that it was just a tax ticket camera, but if it was a speed camera then how long generally is it before you get a ticket posted through your door. I know that if you havent got one within 2 weeks then your safe but 2 weeks has never felt sooooo long.
Cheers Marx

14 days for a NIP althought there are mitigating circumstances ie if it is a hire car or newly registered to yourself..
TBH 80-85mph on the M'Way wouldbe touch and go on the points front...

One per lane, or just one over the outside lane? If it was just one, it sounds very much like it was a laser speed trap. However, I think you'd be very unlucky to get done if you were only doing an speedo indicated 80-85MPH. In reality, this means that you were probably only travelling at 75-80MPH (unless you car has oversized wheels/tyres), and most (not all!) police forces would not prosecute below ~79MPH (+10% +2MPH). I guess you'll have to wait and see. Very annoying as I bet is was a relatively clear m/way with good weather and visibility, they never set up these traps when it's pi55ing down!

Check out www.pepipoo.co.uk for lots of interesting info on speed cameras etc. (I say interesting, but I guess it's all relative!). Sorry, don't know how to make a 'clicky'
