This allegedly true story, supposedly leaked by the Australian Department of Transport, concerns four Australian young men and a mobile speed camera police van. Three of the four lads engaged the speed camera operators in conversation about the camera equipment, and the number of cars caught, etc., while the fourth unscrewed the van's front registration plate. Bidding the police farewell, the lads returned home, screwed the registration plate to their own car and proceeded to complete 17 very fast round trips through the speed camera's radar. The traffic penalties department subsequently issued 17 speeding tickets to itself.

This is old and very unlikely to be true

Right by one for Transport1000.org.uk!
Which links to transport2000.org.uk.
I wonder if that was deliberate... Hmm.

First there was transport 2000.
Now we get transport 1000.

Is this regression without MEANing .

Perhaps following the pattern of the "where'll i go bird"--and we all might know the answer to that one .
