And what happens if you crash it? I certainly wouldnt want to pay the repair bill for minor damage to a mercedes, let alone anything major. If you check the wording you may even find that you are specifically prohibited from doing this as you own both cars. Ive skidded on fuel on the road...

They normally park in a layby just before the first of the fixed truvelos before the "cambridge services", Ive only ever seen white camera vans in that layby and they are speed camera ones. Wouldnt worry about it mate, highly unlikely you got done if your speedo was reading 75. A14 usually...
