Volvo estate police cars

I was going across a local enclosed bridge today the road was dead so thought I'd give my new exhaust a run anyway I was over the speed limit and when I got halfway a long the bridge I noticed a Volvo estate sitting on the other side I slammed the brakes on as soon as I spotted it! It was a little dark to notice if there was a camera in the back but does anyone know if there is one would he have pulled me over or would I get a speeding ticket in the post? Or are the cameras just ANPR?

ANPR

If he didn't pull you I wouldn't worry about it

Cars don't have speed cameras in them, but cops can have speed guns. It was more likely than not just waiting for a ping on ANPR, but they could still have sent off a ticket so you'll have to wait.

Won't make you feel better, but that's how I got my last one in 2008 ;)

There was no speed gun he was just sitting in the front not even bothered probably waiting for some pisshead leaving the city centre! Fingers crossed for the next 2 weeks then
