I encountered my first Talivan in Surrey last week, between Woking and Ottershaw (heading towards the M25) - I think it's the A320.

Has anyone else seen them at all/occasionally/regularly and if so where ? Has anyone been prosecuted due to one of these damned things ?

I saw one on a bridge on the M25 just after the leatherhead exit.

If it was on the 6ways r/bout on the grass between the A320 and A245 - West Byfleet exits, then it was probably looking down the A245 as that's a 40 limit, but a wide road and people steam down it !!
Been there a couple of times recently.

Not seen any others round here...

A few of those signs that light up if you're doing over the posted limit though... either side of the hill on the A320 by the Ottershaw Shell garage, and a couple which seem to be floating round the town (they were in St Johns for a while)

As above there aren't any cameras on the A320 from 5 x-roads to M25 stretch. Not sure about the bit to Woking town centre as I rarely travel down there.

This one was after the 6-ways, heading towards the M25, not far from the Shell Garage in Ottershaw. Fortunately there was quite a bit of traffic around and I was well under the posted 40 limit.

No fixed cameras there AFAIK, drove that stretch at the weekend. They do have a board that flashes '40' at u on the hill, both ways, nr the Shell garage. Go off towards Chobham/ Fairoaks then there's a couple round there.

Bagshot to Bracknell Road (A322 ?)
White Talivan very often sited halfway down before Coral Reef, I always give a wave with my middle finger at 69 mph

He will get my one day when I'm sleeping
