Estimated speed is enough to book you.
Back in 1997 i took off fast from a set of lights on my motorbike, a police car followed and by the time he got to the next intersection he couldn't see which way i had gone.
He had my rego and called me the next day saying he will send a fine, i said "I'm not paying it, see you in court".
Court date came and i represented myself, the police had no photo, radar gun reading or any other evidence other then seeing me from a distance behind, the judge said this is a reliable means of detection and my word against his, he sided with the Law of course. I may have gotten off with a solicitor but as it i stood i had to wear the fine.
I was Peeved at being fined with no physical evidence, but i was guilty anyway so i deserved it.
