I was at a set of traffic lights in Hull around 3 years ago and 2 lanes went down to 1 after the lights. After jockeying for position with the car on the inside lane I "put my foot down" to get in front of him before the lanes merged. The camera van that was waiting after the lights recorded me at 32MPH and I got sent an NIP with the option of a speed awareness course!!!
No point arguing the case as the hole just becomes wider and deeper, so my advice would be to just swallow the bitter pill and laugh every time you don't get caught. ;-)
Oh and if you think I'm being holier than thou then I can assure you that you that I am far, far from being a saint.
