It looks like the Traffic Police were busy yesterday on the M5 during my trip down to Southampton. I saw a Traffic Police Officer on this bridge walking back to his car. A little further on down the motorway, I saw a car that had been pulled over by another Traffic Police Officer. Then a couple of hundreds further on there was another one, stopped this time by an unmarked car. Then further on yet another, then another and then still another further on. That was five in all. Looks like, as all the Traffic cars were busy, the policeman on the bridge didn’t think it was worth checking for anymore miscreants yet.

Would have been an ANPR operation catching people with no tax/MOT/insurance. They run them often from the Michael Wood services in Gloucestershire.
Somewhere before the catch team would have been a car/van with ANPR camera which when it sees a suspect vehicle then gets the catch team to pull them further down the road.
