Aussie Ingenuity

Subject: A story about speed cameras from a British newspaper report.

Four youths from Canberra, Australia pulled off a trick of breathtaking bravado in order to gain revenge on a mobile speed camera van operating in the area.

Three of the group approached the van and distracted the operator's attention by asking a series of questions about how the equipment worked and how many cars the operator could catch in a day.

Meanwhile, the fourth musketeer sneaked to the front of the van and unscrewed its number plate.

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 to itself.

I'm waiting for a bunch of entrepreneur kids to latch on to this one.

Find a mobile speed trap van. Position yourself a mile up the road. Make a makeshift large notice to inform drivers of the trap ahead. Ask drivers who are grateful for the ‘advice’ to chuck you 50 p for your efforts.

Say 7 cars a minute = £3.50, £210 per hour.

7 hour day = £1470.
