No. (Nor the driver I was beside.)

Ah, that's what it was! Yes, I did see the two motorcycle cops.

Yes, that's true. I should have thought of that, given that I often
have to make a special effort there to watch my speed after coming off
SR315 - I'm often tempted to just let the rising gradient bleed my
speed off instead.

Ah, right. Thanks for making sense of the activity for me!

I should add that, the first time we'd passed, we figured there'd been
an accident, so that's why the cops were with a car or two in the
turning lane. It was only when I passed that way again and saw it was
now different cars that I started to wonder. (-:

Incidentally, I only just learned that cars since 1996 tend to have
onboard vehicle sensors which you can get to easily via an OBD-II
connector and the right software. Which means, perhaps, that if I am
ever pulled over for speeding, if I carry the right stuff in the car,
maybe I would be able to check right away what the recent vehicle
speed profile was.
