Traffic Officers

[ALR]

After I saw a highways agency traffic officer with a DVSA warrant card I googled "new powers for Traffic Officers". I can't show the link here but I think it's very interesting.

They've had powers to pull over hgvs and the like since the start.

Sorry, no they haven't. The power to stop moving vehicles came later.

The DVSA has existed since 2013.
The officers in question have had the power to pull over HGVs since 2004, when they were in the agency called VOSA.

Apologies - we're at cross-purposes; I was referring to HATOs (or now, technically, HETOs)

There was a trial in the midlands where Highways England and DVSA carried out joint working, the HE patrol did a course with DVSA and had the stopping powers used by DVSA. They were pulling HGVs into the DVSA examination site for that area.
