Hi all. Are there any policemen online today?
If any of you have any advice for me I'd be very grateful

I was driving to work on Wednesday morning when my engine temp shot right up to the top - it's sorted now, but I went past a mobile speed camera and am pretty sure I was over the speed limit (about 35mph). The thing is - I was just trying to get to somewhere safe to stop (ie work) before my engine blew up (possibly taking me with it!) I was going over the motorway bridge on Helmshore Road (?) and was letting it speed up because, lets face it, no-one is likely to jump over the bridge wall and run into the road, are they? A totally inappropriate place to 'get' people, methinks?
I know I shouldn't have been speeding, but do you think I would get any sympathy from the powers that be?
Thanks in advance!
