Here's the link,
http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-...ns-over-hoons/ But if you cant be bothered reading it, 2 Fords, yes thats shameful, caught racing on the freeway by a speed camera, one guy pleaded guilty fined $750 and 6 months, but the other guy (reportedly in the paper driving a GTP) decided to defend it because both cars were caught in the snapshot. He reckoned you couldnt tell who was doing what, so the prosecutor got professional advice from the camera company to prove that this camera can read and capture multi lanes at the same time. So he decided to plead guilty, got fined $1200 plus 15 months walking, but had to pay another $2,500 for the expert advice from the camera manufacturer. He was doing 195, the other guy who pleaded guilty was doing 207 in a 90. The shameful part, getting your GTP whipped by a Focus.  (Yes I know it might have been an XR5 or an RS, but still...)

hahahahaha, I was thinking the same thing listening about it on the ABC. However it is more shameful they were doing this crap on public roads and dragging ford fans through the mud with them.

207km/h, the car would be near impossible to control at that speed. What a moron.

it would have been much cheaper for both of them to have a grudge match at the local drag strip/club day.

The police should already have expert evidence that the system works, and now they have its their asset, which this speeder bought for them. Theives! ;-)
