There is a black/dark Skoda octavia vrs around Oxford currently. I was next to him at Headington roundabout, went down the A40 with a little pace, decided to settle at a reasonable speed and he sped past and put the lights on. I expected a hefty talking to, if not worse, but he carried on, turned lights off, and I'd slowed to a 30MPH crawl ready to stop. 10:55 on a Friday night and I imagine it was the end of his shift! Very lucky. Roads were clear and I got a good warning, a camera would have just got me like that. Thank you Mr Policeman, discretion is key.

Carfest this weekend....

Anyone have any recent spots in the Basingstoke/Winchester areas?

There were a couple of unmarked BMWs around last year....

Unmarked 16 plate white BMW estate on a traffic stop in Abingdon today. I think it was a 5 series but only saw it briefly.

I was up and down the A303/M3 today in the area, didn't see anything.

I saw him last week and again today at that stop. 3 series touring I think.

I heard that TVP are moving away from volvos and Vauxhall in favour of bmw's. Looks like it's happening.

The first digits of the plate weren't even OU either, that was always the huge giveaway!

On my commute down the A34 this morning I didn't see anything that looked remotely unmarked, or anything marked. This was at about 8 though. There might be a few around.

Egham this afternoon - black (dark) BMW 3 series saloon DY64 FSZ

Blowing the dust off of the thread, I saw EX64GNJ on the A34 southbound today with lights in full force. Then it followed me down to the Winnall roundabout before going North on the M3.

Has to be the most spotted unmarked!

I think I've seen it a few times on the A31 too but never been able to see the plate. It certainly gets around a lot.

Very (too) clean black Focus ST on Wokingham Rd in East Reading - reg starting MK.
Looked more like rapid response than a traffic car....
Cheers, Pewe.

Dark Blue Audi A4 (or A6) on Surrey's patch of the M25 this morning.

White Iveco Tractor unit, with no trailer on M25 North yesterday near Potters Bar.
Completely unmarked, just white and exceptionally clean. (Odd for a lorry)

Crept past and noticed the uniformed driver watching down. You could also see the lights behind the grille.

Thames Valley have been running one the past week as well as there was a report on the local news last night saying how many people they'd caught on phones, tablets, etc, in just one day of patrolling the A34 including the stretch where those 2 big accidents occurred a few months back.

Might want to pop down the M3 contraflow of an evening rush hour. Recently seen two YouTube viewing sessions and one Skype video call by solo drivers!

Black Insignia Estate Dog car unmarked on M4 junction 8/9 to 10 earlier. Blacked out front windows were the main giveaway.

Silver audi s3 travelling northbound on A3. Had someone pulled.

Also appears to be a motorbike copper travelling northbound most days. Nicking those on the phone
