Default I'm screwed

110mph (GPS speed) in the car, long straight dual carriageway, one artic I'm overtaking blocking my view of the camera van in the layby.

Just as I appear at the front of the artic I spot the van... too late.

This is going to be a very long 2 week wait for an NIP.

Fingers be crossed - Hopefully the gun was pointed at the artic and you came into view a little too late....

Lot of the camera vans have nothing more sophisticated than a bloke with an LTI 20-20 inside. At that speed appearing from behind an artic, the guy would need to be pretty quick to see you, aim at you and pull the trigger. There's also a chance the guy not paying attention, particularly if he was looking at a 56mph artic and waiting for it to pass before concentrating on the traffic again, or indeed reading a book eating his sandwiches.
