If the van was directly in front of you and you were quite close to the van, then they would not have got you because they wouldn't have been able to see your number plate. If you didn't slow down or brake then they could have still got your back number plate. I was told that if you brake and brake again, the radar signal that bounces off your car would be in inconsistant and so they would have to send it again by that time your speed would have been down to 50. They normally allow a 10% margin, so just the fact that the driver in front braking was probably enough to slow you down. Hope this helps.
