Hey! There will be none of that factual bollocks going on in this site! Just laugh at the taxation van and carry on.

Damn! I wish I had of known about this, since being a caring citizen, I would have grabbed a bucket and pitched in to help!
Rapidly bailing buckets of water from the puddle into the taxation van to ensure the bastard drowned. Slowly. Whilst screaming.

Cutting the corner I'd say. Actually probably reversing into a blind corner ............


The real question - did the van slow down traffic - I bet everyone driving along who saw it slowed down significantly. Maybe ditch the radar and start beaching some cop cars/vans on danger raods ;)

Perfectly parked. That camera should work a treat at that angle.

Hope the driver was drug tested? Do you guys even get black ice?

Yeah that one is much funnier than the mufti one I saw late one night at the Mangaweka rail, sitting at an odd angle in the water table...for some strange reason the rail crossing got redone the following week. Only a year or three ago...

The way they illegally park the unmarked camera van on the Dunedin southern motorway I wouldn't be surprised if you see a photo of that one day after it has been rear ended at 110km/h.

All good really, because there will be photographic evidence that speeding causes accidents :woohoo:

Nah, but it will be a good example of why parking on the motorway is prohibited for safety reasons.

Looks photoshopped to me. There's no damage to the sill, and the front tyre not touching the ground doesn't look like the suspension has extended at all.


I'll call bullshit.

Made a nice job of the reflection on the wet ground then.:msn-wink:
Front wheel travel looks all the way down to me.:bleh:

Call it genuine. Too much digital noise, ie the original has been taken with crappy phone. You really need to start with a good original for photoshop trickery otherwise its like trying to polish a turd.
The reflections and other bits all look just right.
I'd say he's backed up with frosty mirrors and guestimated where he was while backing into driveway to turn around.

More likely an un-sworn staff member ... employed just to operate the camera van.

Driver suddenly realised he was entering the forbidden zone known as Kumeu and applied forced the brake pedal area in unsafe wet conditions.

Sustained loss of traction? Driving too fast for the conditions? ( especially if it is true about reversing in poor visibility) Failing to remain in his lane?

All very tongue in cheek sitting behind my phone but I was threatened with all three for hitting a curb in the wet after I hit a manhole cover and slid my back tyre into the curb... With a police officer right behind me.

He did not issue any, but did read me the riot act about young hooligans in overpowered cars. I thought that was ripe given I was in a 20+ year old Holden Gemini.


Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.
