"Stripey" Motorway Vehicles GB

• Page 1 of 1
There are a number of "Stripey" vehicles patrolling our motorways these days and most of them give some of us cause to hammer on the anchors at times.
Being a relative newby to English roads, I have been wondering what sits inside a car marked "Traffic Officer"
Is it a Cop or something with similar powers?
Are they capable of measuring your speed & doing something about it if you exceed the prescribed limit?
Of course I would never dream of doing so
Back to Germany soon

If they are green and yellow and marked as traffic officer they are civilians and thus not able to get you for speeding. They are there to assist with breakdowns and RTA.
Just watch out for the unmarked cars and the laser vans on the bridges. You are not paranoid they are out to get you

Ta very much, I had a feeling they were civvies.
Oh yes the unmarked ones, they planted a total of 9 points on my licence during my last stat on this wonderful Island. Ended up driving around like a granddad.
I don't think I'm paranoid, but I do have a feeling that somebody's reading this

Our local traffic cops have just got a totally unmarked navy blue Volvo Estate; I'm not sure if this replaces the unmarked metallic grey Skodas that they were using- the fast ones not the old joke-mobiles.
