Speeding up to 90 in a 50

Wondering what is my situation looking like
Long story short:
Dual Carriage way, empty 1am, dry conditions. Undercover trailed
me for 2 miles speeding.
Marked unit waited for me I slowed down when I saw them and they
flashed me.
Blew 0.0, all paperwork in order.
Officer said he will be reporting me for Dangerous Driving but
let me continue driving.
It has been over 1 month now with no correspondence, is this a
good sign?
0 points, clean record, Held my license for 1 year.

Not really.
That speed will see you prosecuted in court. No further
paperwork is required before court proceedings begin. The first
you will hear of this will be by way of a "Single Justice
Procedure Notice." If it's only speeding the police intend to
proceed with they have six months to begin proceedings and in
many areas they take all of that time. If they intend to
prosecute you for Dangerous Driving there is no time limit for
them to bring that charge.
Was this in England/Wales or Scotland?

Indeed, it's unusual to be charged for Dangerous in E&W for just
speed alone...
I would assume this is going to be progressed to court but as
noted this often happens just before the 6 month deadline just
when you though they had forgotten...
But I would be planning on a licence revocation under the New
Drivers Act.

Yes, unusual for a DD prosecution just for speeding even over an
extended period or distance.
Unless there was something else about your driving that you
haven't mentioned?
If they do prosecute for DD then you will probably go straight
to court via a postal requisition rather than SJP.

Indeed. DD cannot be dealt with under the SJP. As well as that,
if DD was to be prosecuted I think that proceedings would have
been taken by now.
