    What was this van checking?
    Drove past a white van today, 2 cameras in the back. It had a green triangular logo on the side, and said "vehicle something something check".
    Any ideas what for? Speeding? Tax?

    Think you'll find it was checking for Road Tax discs.

    Would have said Vehicle Excise Duty Check.

    Maybe just a survey counting the types or number of cars. Maybe part of the survey was that they had to film it.
