So it was either break and slot in behind the 2 cars, which would make me look guilty....

Looking guilty doesn't put points on your licence, whereas:
...I actually passed the Merc and peaked at 77mph apparently. Doing 17 mph over the speed limit will do.

Option is £60 and 3 points or take to court. Do what I did - take the points and admit to yourself that you, as a driver, were at fault. We all do it, some more frequently than others, and this time you were caught at it. I took £120 and 6 points: I went through the usual period of blaming everybody but eventually came around and grew up a bit. At the end of the day, regardless as to what I thought, I was over the indicated speed limit and I paid the price. I still am, 4 years on, thanks to hike in insurance costs - all because of being sloppy. I genuinely think I'm a better driver for it now; I honestly hadn't realised how little attention I would give to my speed.
