Reading road Yatley, speed camera

[e600]

Coming home from work last night around 7.45 i came around a bend and spotted 2 officers using a hand held speed camera. I estimated my speed to be low 30's but my reaction was to brake. Car travelling close behind had a moment, but no contact. The hand held camera was being operated by a wpc, and she appeared to be under instruction. There was no police car immediately near by nor any police in cars or on bikes further up the road.

The 2 police didn't appear to be taking registrations, therefore if one was speeding how is this recorded?

Might be getting a letter for 34 -35 mph

If your speedo was indicating say 34 you were probably doing no more than 31 and you will hear no more.

I know why you are concerned tho. I have had similar experiences and spend the next 2 weeks dreading what may be in the post.

Training exercise?

However, as above you're probably OK in any case.

Where abouts? They like to sit down near the Tythings since it was reduced to a 30, and there's sometimes one near Texaco, but I think that one is usually checking MOT etc rather than speed (stand to be corrected if it's all done at the same time?)
