I was really cursing the driver in front of me yesterday, for going ridiculously slow on the main road. With no opportunity to overtake, I had to sit behind him as he slowed to 20mph as he approached the 30mph zone, only to see the police camera van parked up with the flap down and lens pointing at us. I went past it at 20mph, still following the guy I had been cursing, and I thought, what a lovely chap the guy in front is as he's just saved me from getting a ticket. 
I have done something similar, but the guy in front was speeding and so was I. The police officer with the radar gun got him, not me, as my front number plate was hidden by the car in front. Quick application of the brakes and I was doing dead on the speed limit as the gun would have seen my front number plate. I am sure the other driver got a ticket, but I never did!
Another great escape by me that has resulted in no points, no fines, in 1 million miles of motoring on often very fast business runs. Call me bloody lucky, because I have been!
