How could you be speeding if you were at a red light (which I interpret as being stopped)?

The Copfk photo shows him leaving the scene of an accident and speeding!

Check me if I’m wrong, but the infringement notice shows a picture of his car on the back of the tow truck. The tow truck was speeding when the picture was taken yet the government sent him a speeding ticket. Can government hire any more moronic idiots than they do?

Do you really want to explore that question?

I am almost in a coma – it is so difficult to believe that the car being towed gets the ticket for speeding. This elevates to a height of stupidity even unimagined by me for a gubbermint drone.

I still can’t believe it fully. A 1/2 mile wide asteroid has a better chance of hitting earth than the state drone accomplishing this historic error.

You should bring this to a TV station – they would love it and so would the audience.

I was under the impression that these photo’s were reviewed by people at the photo camera companies first to determine whether or not to issue a ticket.

Seems like those people have rather low qualifications.

Jimski, No, just a rhetorical question.

There is not a license plate on the tow truck, so they used the one on the car. Slam dunk he will get this reversed.

Guess where folks – New South Wales, Australia!

(I recognise the logo in the top left corner).

“Speed Kills”. Pity they don’t bother with ALL the other, far more dangerous, aspects of our truly crap driving population. “Speeding” and “Random Breath Testing”. Much loved by the habitually lazy (but opinionated) NSW “Constabulary”.

“Speed Enforcement” is a particularly well-liked revenue raising scheme. They are always out and about when the weather is good (so exceeding our rather pathetically slow “safe” speed limits is perfectly safe), but if it’s raining or cold – the cops are nowhere to be seen (so when they “could” justify limit enforcement for real safety reasons – nowhere to be seen, period.)

NSW Police WILL fine you if you are 10km/h over the limit. South Australia / Victoria will do you for a 3km/h excess (which is stupid when you consider the manufacturing tolerances on a car speedometer are +/- 5km/h at 50kph.).

So, “everyone” crawls at speeds which were low in the 1960’s. One of the major reasons for Metropolitan congestion – excessive latency on highways = congestion = increased driver workload = accidents.

Australia = Dumbfuckistan by any reasonable metric.

I’m 4 or7 margaritas deep in thought right now but I’m a fan of your work! I tried, to tell LLPOH Australia was a bad fucking move! I just hope my friend takes my advice and picks up a Brumby or five, with a solid plan to hit the Outback. Always make sure your backup has a back up

Let’s have government run more stuff, they sure are good at it.
