Breathtaking Bravado Foils Speed Camera
A QC received a very amusing although naughty e-mail from a spy at the Department of Transport this week.
Our mate informs us that four youths recently pulled off a trick of breathtaking bravado 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 would 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 the car and drove through the camera's radar at high speed - 17 times," our transport spy writes. "As a result, the automated billing system issued 17 speeding tickets to itself.

Christ thats good, in fact you only really need to note it down as you drive past, then order one off ebay or one of the ones who don't insist on seeing your docs - got to be worth the fiver or so.
But using the actual plate off the van has to be the pièce de résistance!
