They never had you clocked on radar gear at 98 and let you off
It's not a "grey area" speed, it's compulsory court attendence. I got taken to court for 96.

Was it a car clocking you on video? because they can only do you for an average speed, they aren't calibrated for single speeds in a way that would be admissable in court. They probably told you 98 to shit you up.

If I understand it correctly
They have to have clocked you over a certain distance too. Often you will get pulled over, ticked off and then "let off" - which means "we don't have enough to charge you with"

Sounds like they were recording her for long enough, to be fair
but if the average was low 80s they were never going to bother persuing it.

Normally they go with your average speed over a third of a mile.
Unless they nick you with the VASCAR system.

i think that's right, it was a video in the car
however, there is no doubt that i was doing at least 98mph at some points. i was in a hurry and i had a lot of stuff on my mind and it is a very fast car and i was being a twat!

I think if they are using a video in the car
Then they are making an estimate of your speed, based on the speed they have to do to chase you. I'm quite prepared to be proven wrong on this though...

Oh, I don't doubt it
I'm just pointing out they can't have any proof of that or they would have thrown the book at you ...
