Generally not too bothered but obviously moderate the open road speeds to avoid attracting attention.

I was stopped by an unmarked Thames Valley Omega last year (for doing 122mph) and just so luckily escaped with a verbal roadside warning as they didn't have quite enough evidence on video. They were extremely polite and reasonable about the whole thing so I can't really criticise the TV traffic squad.

Panda car drivers can be a little sillier as they're not trained traffic police and try to prove themselves to be clever than they really are. However, they are pretty stuck if there's no witness in the Police car as no formal speed measuring equipment is installed to corroborate the drivers claim.

Rule zero - don't admit to anything as to do so is tantamount to a confession. Without this they're going to have to work so much harder to build a contiguous case and will often let it go with a roadside b******ing.
