Pulled over for speeding, question for UK drivers.

[Banquo's Ghost]

I got pulled over for speeding, and after telling me off rotten, taking my name and checking my insurance, they told me to go on. They never gave me a ticket or any physical reciept. Will I get a letter through the post in the next few days or does that mean I've escaped with a verbal warning? Do they track verbal warnings? Have I just 'used up' their good will and will they be harsher next time?

Any UK drivers know the answers?

How far over the limit were you, and on what sort of road? I expect you were just given a ticking off.

You get a letter from the speed cameras - if you get stopped by the police, I think they have to issue you the fine and advise you of any points there and then, so you should be OK. I'm guessing it was the end of their shift and they wanted to avoid the paper work - either that or you're a very good looking blonde girl with come hither eyes.
