After bidding the van operator goodbye, the friends returned home, fixed the number plate to their car and drove through the camera's radar at high speed - 17 times.As a result,the automated billing system issued 17 speeding tickets toitself."Some of replies suggest that this is an old story placed in another state. I suspect that it could be another urban myth. Would be kewl if it was true though. Give them a taste of their own medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cameras dont use radar anyway. Would be funny if it was but the vans always have at least 2 operators in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be funny if it was but the vans always have at least 2 operators in them if not radar, what then?Also in VIC there is only ever one operator in the mobile tax vans.

I have never seen such a thing in Sydney, or anywhere in NSW in fact. Maybe Queensland doesn't have them either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
