Depends on the speed. 93 and a above is court iirc. Under that your most likly get away with 3points.

You should get offered a 3 point ticket with £60 fine. Was it an indicated 90-95 or real? Depending how accurate your speedo is.
I'd be surprised if you got a straight summons. But 95 in a 70 should technically be straight to court.
At court I would expect 6 points. Although possibly fewer if you argued your need your licence for work, and excessive hardship etc etc.
And you never know, you might have got away with it. You've got 14 days with clenched buttocks to see if you get the NIP through the post.

Not totally sure how fast i was going. Long stretch of the motorway and just put my foot down. Was sitting at 90 - 95, wouldn't have been going any faster.
Going to have to see what comes in the post to work
Speedo is around 5MPH out on the GPS. I also braked as i seen the van on the bridge. Not sure how far the cameras can get you from.

Was it a van with a slot of glass at the back, or was it a galaxy police car?

Looked like a transit van. They then had 2 cameras on the edge of the bridge on tripods.

if the set up various cameras for each lane, it could be an ANPR op.
Not gonna say for definite though!

As far as I know, there are is only one camera for speeders - int he back of a van (post the ticket) or copper with a tripod/gun (pull you over up the road).
Were the tripods manned? Was the van with a door open/window facing the traffic?

cameras will be connected to the van, that has screens to flash up!
ANPR- reads your numberplate, places it against insurance database etc!
Most forces mainly do ANPR rather than speeding now

ANPR's usually have a traffic car waiting by, but you didn't see any, was there a slip road coming on to the motorway after the camera?
