"Someone just parked in front of a speed camera, lifted his boot so nobody could get caught speeding. Then went to the pub across the road."

Imgur commenters are miserable s aren't they.

Got a chuckle out of this, but considering people have ended up in court for a warning flash, you'd be brave to do this. You could always claim it's broken down it is a porsche after all

Legend.

Yeah, inhibiting the use of a safety camera in a residential area where it could do some good.
When they are are already a scarce, underfunded resource. What a dick.

Definitely. The Porsche owner should have his car confiscated and be forced to watch six episodes of Miranda.

Brilliant.

Some dicks still believe they are safety cameras; they're not, they ARE tax machines.

A few years back I used to commute down a road that would often have a speed camera van parked on it. The road widened to have two lanes going either way, wasn't a dual carriageway but would see median speeds higher than the 30mph limit it was set at. A few hundred yards down the road the limit extended to 40mph.

After dozens of people got caught attempting murder by hitting 37mph just before a 40mph limit, one of the residents who lived locally and had a Transit van, used to park it right up against the back (camera face) of the scamera van. He used to block someone's driveway by doing so, but I believe it took all of three seconds for the driveway owner to sympathise and allow his van-owning friend to "visit".

That's a residential area. I would want my children to be able to cross the road in safety. Kids drop things, forget where they are. Spur of the moment. That sort of thing.
This would have been cool on a dual carriageway.

Google "Block their shot", there are loads of people doing it in Australia and taking photos of the daftest ones

They can probably do all this at the same time mr porsche is being a hero.

I don't think many on here would have an issue if they were sighted in sensible places for instance outside a school at 3.30, clearly visible from a long way off, so you would have to be half blind or extremely careless to go through one.

Problem for Mr Porsche is they could do him for obstructing the police. It's not too dissimilar to doing this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1343959/Dr...

Then don't let them out by themselves until they can cross the road - it's really not hard - google "Green Cross Code"

I don't want random lemmings damaging my car.

[greygoose]

Not heroic really, looks like a residential area as others have said, speeding there isn't fighting "the man" it's being a tt.

Exactly. Kids shouldn't be let out till they're 18, they just can't be trusted to behave like adults. Don't let them walk to the shops or school, stick em in the car and drive them there like normal people, its not as if the roads are congested.

The outdoors is for cars, not people. In fact, can't we just do away with 30 mph limits, I'd get home from work at least 30 seconds faster.

Scary thing is some knuckle dragger will probably agree with you....
