As of today we will be using unmarked police vehicles on the county’s roads again.
Last week we advised drivers not to pull over if requested to do so by anything other than a marked police vehicle following two vehicle thefts on the M11 and M25.
Detectives and road policing officers have now reviewed this guidance.
DCI Stuart Smith, lead investigator for the incidents, said: “My team has concluded the risk to motorists in cars is low. My advice to drivers of vans in particular is to remain alert and vigilant and try and establish whether unmarked vehicles are genuine with our control room whilst remaining compliant with the police vehicle before stopping if you are concerned.
In respect of calling 999 while driving Chief Insp Nick Lee, head of roads policing, said: “The law states that you cannot use your mobile phone whilst driving, however, we have discretion we can apply and if someone is in genuine fear of their life we would take a sensible approach in those circumstances.”
