was unaware of speed this morning and realised i was doing around 40+ in a 30... the type of road and the others cars speed limit makes it hard to judge if you dont know the road but my reg plate is in the window with the bottom half 'EDM' covered up by the wiper... do you think i will get away with it???

40 in a 30 they may let you away with. They normally just penalise the bigger speeders. Any pics of number plate? lol

See they cannot penalise everybody, they will go for the bigger speeders in my opinion

what's done is done. just wait to see if you get booked, then see if they made a mistake and you can fight it.

my bro best mate is a camera van driver and it depends on area as to what you get. Theres a little camera on front of van just under rear view mirror recording. So if they clock you speeding and you have no front plate all they have to do is play the recording from the front which will show your rear plate . .

and if they dont have footage of your plate they pass the picture onto the police who then keep an eye out for you to get your plate. This is more common with bikes that go through the same camera more then once at silly speeds . .
