police vans

[ClydeGhost]

so, going to uni I over took a bus on a 50 limit, I ended up blasting it past 60 until I saw the van (one of those speed cameras in a van i guess?) up ahead. I managed to get my speed down to 52ish when I got near and past it. ugh. so stupid. I didnt see it, it didnt do anything.
i dont think i got away with it... What happens now? a letter through the post? speeding ticket? or something on my license?

Fancy that, the one time I speed theres a speed camera set up.

Judging from previous answers to the question

30 days time you'll get a fine and 3 points thing through the post which you can contest.

You may also hear nothing as they might have been having a cuppa at the time.

The cameras in the vans can pick your speed up from quite a distance so if they were bothering you probably would have got caught.
If not your lucky, if you do get caught expect a NIP £60 fine and 3 points.
Also ask for the option for a speed awareness course.

If it's your first time or it has been 2 years since your last time you can do a speed awareness course, which costs the same as a fine, but you don't get points.

You dun goofed.
In 2 weeks you'll get a friendly letter telling you how badly you'll be bummed.
As others have said: If it's your first time you should (doesn't mean you will) be able to do speed awareness course. If it's not well, you're sheer out of luck.

50 limit means in practice 57mph for prosecution (+10% + 2mph). Speedos over read by about 5%. Do the arithmetic.

It's borderline, and you might get offered a "speed awareness" scam.

Don't sweat it until the NIP and Section 72 (the part that actually demands details of the rider) arrives. As Mr Dog points out, you should definitely get proof of postage of your reply.

An unscrupulous person might note that having such proof of postage might be seen as an Interpretations Act defence even if you were to inadvertently return an empty envelope.

Do those vans get the rear reg plate? I thought they just read the front one.

Something hot about a girl speeding on a motorbike
put it away

You'll probably be fine, don't sweat it
There's a duel carriageway that's a 50 limit with camera signs on my route, pretty sure there's no cameras though, I always do it as fast as I can

I have come across 3 camera vans this year when been ummm.. making progress, shall we say. I have yet to get a ticket. I have no idea why, maybe can they not get bikes so easily, maybe they can't be arsed to turn round and look at the reg plate as I've gone passed, I have no idea.

The one up in the peaks had me dead to rights overtaking a lorry at silly speeds in a 50 so all I can presume is they stick some of these vans out with no gear in, just to make people slow down.

In other words, don't worry about it, there is fuck all you can do till you get the nip.

I think you'd be hard pressed to still find one that can't film from all angles. Don't assume that you're safe once you're past, there are plenty of caught-on-camera lulz to be had from that.

Is your best port of call ^^^

Some camera vans now have a camera on the side and one looking through the windscreen to catch bikers. Fourteen day wait to see if you get a NIP in the post assuming your Department of Various Lost Articles paperwork is tickety boo.

[jetski]

sounds like for a large part of the time you were the other side of the bus. its not going to clock you there. plus you got your speed down. I'd say you have a good chance of not hearing anything on this

You just got your license yesterday or the day before right? That means that you are under the new drivers act https://www.gov.uk/penalty-points-endorsements/new-drivers
