    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
    or just some paper cutouts of pictures of them. they used to do that if you remember.

    I also stole this pic and put it on farcebook.

    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.
    Front wheel travel looks all the way down to me.

    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.
