I would've thought they'd pull you over.

Post stuff like this in the motors section in future.

If he clocked you, he can just send you the fine. And probably 2 points...

They must intercept you and take your details unless they have a fixed camera.

So to answer your question, you will hear nothing further. Relax now and breathe.

not sure what you mean by fixed camera but there are radar gund hooked up to cameras which avoid the need for muldoon to intercept you. However, these are quite limited in use and I suspect the OP is safe from the points system for now.
