If there is a scamera van parked up beside the road with it's evil little windows of doom open, with 3 trafpol bikes and cars sat behind it ready to go on the chase when someone is snapped by gobblins in the van...

If you DON'T get chased down by either the bikes or the car, does that mean you weren't snapped, or could you still possibly get a nice little present in the post to brighten your day?

Usually more common for BiB to be present when the camera is an ANPR device. You get zapped and flagged as being not taxed as you pass and the traffic units pull you up further down the road.

The Talivans tend to operate alone. That way they are less visible to oncoming traffic and more likely to get their 'catch'

Yes, one parked up under a Gatso this morning hoping to catch miscreants before they slowed down. First impression was that it was servicing the Gatso, but no.

yup, sounds like ANPR or Road tax operation.

ahhh! that might explain why I wasn't stopped then smile

I presumed it had to be a speed camera as the bloke beside me was on his mobile, nearly took out a cyclist and almost broadsided me trying to do a no handed swerve around the cyclist but wasn't stopped either (he wasn't speeding)
