Fred's lament

[Allan at Wallan]

Fred, ("Fenderbelly") was driving his car when he saw the flash
of a traffic camera. He figured his picture had been taken for
exceeding the speed limit, even though he was sure he had not
been speeding.
Just to be sure he went around the block and passed the same
spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed.
He tried and third, fourth and finally a fifth time. At this stage
he was laughing hysterically as there was no possible way
he could be pinged ... he was barely moving at a snail's pace.

Two weeks later he got five tickets in the mail
... for driving without using his seat belt.

At last i'm famous.

Ray my lad had the same thing happen to him when he was a young fella.

Him and two mates took their trail bikes to Port Adelaide Industrial area.
Sunday morning, no one working nobody about. It was an area well used by bike riders adults and teenagers. Spare ground.
His bike was first of the trailer so he decided to just ride to the end of the street.It's a no through road.
The man in blue drove into the street, my lad had no helmet on and he got booked.

I took him to the court, charges were read out.
No registration and insurance
Not wearing a helmet
and not wearing a seat belt.
The magistrate looked over his glasses and said "seat belt on a bike."
Sorry sir typing error.
Didn't make any difference to the fine.

Fred should have been thrown out as the Cop had made an error in judgement and obviously his eyesight couldn't be trusted he saw what he saw.
