Default Literally, caught on camera

Just thought you guys would like to see these pics of a US F150 driven by a Pom into a speedcamera (in the UK). Amazing accuracy by the driver.

I was excited there for a minute - My speed scan picked up the words "pics" and "Porn". Too bad it was Pom...

Ah i am sure we have all considered taking out a speed camera or 100 in our driving lives ... reminds me of the story about an idiot taking to a speed camera with a metal basball bat ... the bat set it off and got another pic of his car, plus a pic of his face and him holding the bat ... i guess road rage aint a good thing.

Lucky it was UK and not Victoria.

I heard a rumour that legislation is being prepared for the situation that if you damage a "safetycam" you are personally liable for the loss of rightful income to the state......

In Sydney there are quite a few speed cameras that have cameras watching them. For some reason people don't seem to like them.
