I expect to be bashed massively for this, and I welcome it, I'm an idiot.
I was driving 70mph in a 50mph zone. It had just changed to 50mph, and I failed to slow down before I passed a vehicle hiding on the side of the motorway. It was a black and yellow checkered vehicle. Was that a police car? Highway patrol? I'm not entirely sure what vehicle it was, but he was facing oncoming traffic and hiding. I'm also a fairly new driver. It will be 2 years at the end of this month. Whats going to happen to me? Banned? Oh, I'm such an idiot 😭

Police are usually blue and yellow. Unless you saw a camera (man with a gun), or a hole out the back of the van/car, you're probably ok

It sounds like highway patrol; speed camera vans dont hide (perhaps not allowed to). I would try not to worry, most likely nothing
