I went back and measured it via the odometer later. I thought they might have been slightly exaggerating the distance between two sets of lights, but it was a close call and did I really want to turn it into my word versus the word of two police officers? Nope.

3 points and 60 quid fine.
Manchester police are on a zero tolerance for speeders campaign this week.
Kicking myself........

Consider yourself lucky your not looking at a ban.
