Suspected Talivan sighted tonight in I think a new position, at least I haven't seen them there before. Parked up on the verge behind a barrier just after the where the slip road from Saffron Walden (B184/A1301) joins the A11 heading towards Newmarket and the A14.

I'm never sure if they can work in the dark, and if they can can someone explain how they see (or do they just aim between the headlights and hope), and I don't think the rear windows were open.

There weren't any obvious Speed Kills stickers on the side, just a white van with the reflective rear and the darkened rear windows.

Anyone else seen them here, and can they zap you in the dark with the windows shut?

Hi, I spotted them there too (in dark), but was too late to lift off. I was in a stream of traffic, plus >14 days ago so I'm safe....

I noticed it too last night.

I was late getting home, and driving way too fast, but no flashing, no stickers, no nothing eminated from the van.

Can they get you in the dark without a flash? My worst fears are that picture was taken, and they reproduce the vid in negative. Has anyone else had this situation?

Blimey!

Why would they need to do that? Infrared has been known about for some time.....

Not up to speed on the technical ins and outs, so please forgive ingnorance.

The shaded windows at the back of the van were closed. There was not an open "shutter". Can we all hope?
