No! Currently, traffic officers cannot stop you for speeding, or issue a ticket. In fact, they cannot stop you for any driving offence. Additionally, traffic officers have no powers to search your vehicle. Traffic officers can pass details to the police if they witness dangerous driving or other offences. However, this might not remain the case for much longer. Government Ministers are looking at expanding the role of traffic officers, where they could be given powers to deal with common offences such as speeding and drivers using their mobile phone.
