Vosa and Thames Valley Police were doing a checkpoint on the A40 today at Fat Ladies, Barnard Gate. One of our hired hauliers slowed for the speed camera, then sped up and was pulled in by a copper with a radar gun near the layby doing 42mph. They told him they couldn’t do him for it but could “have a word”. Said subbie is a green light with Vosa who sent him on his way but coppers did note the amount of 80kmh running on the single carriageway. Can they take action on this although they didn’t see him doing it?
in a word, yes
What can they do? I though it was down to TC/Vosa to take action?
They can tell tales…
they wont take any action on taco evidence alone
it makes them feel important to have a word !! as most of us know they are overpaid and under worked and a total waste of space when it comes to real crime
IIRC they can only use tachograph as secondary evidence…ie they gotta catch you with sometning else first be it a scamera van, fixed camera or copper following you in his car
Moose:

But the TC can and will.
