Speeding on A3

I will set the scene:
I am going back home on 14/03/25 near empty roads, clear and dry
weather on the A3 at 1AM
I was driving and began being trailed by an unmarked unit, this
unit trailed me for 2 miles.
I was speeding on the dual carriage way at around 70mph ish
which at some point got to 90.
There was construction at some point and a bus which slowed me
down and waited to get past, thus I consequently slowed down.
Eventually a marked unit was waiting for me which flashed me and
pulled me over.
I stated I did not know why I was stopped and when asked how
fast was I going I said I believe the speed limit.
He mentioned I went past 3 speeding cameras and slowed down.
They breathalysed me which got 0.00
They mentioned to me due to me "overtaking" and "swerving" ( I
did not swerve I have a dashcam) and my speed he is reporting me
for Dangerous driving, he mentioned I will get a letter soon and
I can choose to accept it or challenge it.
He then cautioned me and I asked if I was being arrested to
which he said "No no, you can drive off home and continue to
drive"
I held my license for just over 1 year, had a clean license no
past criminal history.
What is my scenario looking like, I would appreciate honest
advice.
I do have dashcam footage if someone would care to review it (it
does not have my speed on it, only time)

Who knows? You’ll have to wait and see what, if anything, comes
your way.
PS: “license” is a verb. “Licence” is a noun.

Whoops sorry,
I'm just conflicted regarding does the 14-day NIP apply in my
case?
Thank you for your reply.

No, as you were warned at the time of the offence that you might
be prosecuted, there is no separate requirement for a NIP.
N.B. If you are responding to the last post in the thread in its
entirety, there is no need to quote it. If you are not
responding to the entirety of a post, do not quote the entire
post.

Thanks Andy appreciate the tip.
So from my understanding, I am now in a scenario where I can get
a FPN or a court date?
A little insight, my work is planning to move me out of the UK
for work reasons, what do I do if they send me a letter long
after I moved out?
My eta for moving out is about a month-ish.

That in itself is not a problem, you don't have to keep the DVLA
informed of every change in your personal life.
Your legal obligation is 'to provide an address which is in GB
and where you can be contacted at any time'. (It must be a
physical address, PO boxes are not acceptable)
Therefore, having someone else check your post or forward it is
fine, it does however remain your ultimate responsibility you
cannot transfer that to anyone else.
