Fine from police with handheld speed camera?

[Steve]

As i came round a corner today there was a policeman with a handheld speed gun, i was going around 45 mph in a 40 zone. As i drove passed him he just gave me a sign to slow down, he could have easily pulled me over as it is a long stretch of clear straight road.
Does anyone think i may get a letter in the coming weeks?

Thanks

I reckon you just got away with it.

it was just a warning but lucky you the police officer gave you a warning
yes they can give you a ticket for even one mile over the posted speed limit
but even five miles over is not that bad...its just up to the cop

You will get a summons with in the week, the10% tolerance is rubbish i got done doing 32mph in 30 zone

I imagine your actual speed, not the spedo indication, was boarder line. You have been warned.

Sounds like he was a decent copper and gave you a warning only.

Unlikely, the police usually only go after people driving crazy speeds, but possible...my co-worker got a speeding ticket for doing 33 in a 30 zone, so who knows.
