Oh dear

    Just got back from a great week's holiday in the Dales. Travelled up in
    the car with the family. So focused on the road and passing the slower
    drivers was I, that I didn't notice the bright yellow Volvo with POLICE
    stamped on the side on a ramp on the A1(M) in N Yorks. My wife did, and
    pointed this out to me. A quick dab on the brakes (too late of course)
    and I noticed the Volvo move of the ramp onto the hard shoulder. "Well,
    if he stop's me it's fair enough" I inform my family. And fair enough it
    was - he pulled up behind me, lights flashing and I gently pulled onto
    the hard shoulder.

    Oh dear.

    Clean license for 23 years, besmirched now with the addition of 3 points
    and a £60 fine for 93mph. They policeman told me that if I'd been doing
    96, it would have been a summons.

    He was very business-like but also surprisingly un-patronising - a very
    nice chap actually who let me have a go with the hand-held radar gun
    they use.

    I feel I got value for money out of my £60/3 points - the thrill of the
    'will he wont he', flasjing blue lights, get to sit in a real police car
    etc as compared to an NIP dropping throught the letter box as a result
    of not having spotted a gatso! Let's hope one of those doesn't arrive as
    well :(

    I trust your PCs have all been well whilst I was away ;)

    I have one in front of me, you can have it if you wish. I can't identify
    it but the FCC ID is LWHAA151A00 if that's any help.

    Email me (this one works) with your address and I'll stick it in the post.
