Yeah, poor guy.

This guy was on his "P" plates and was speeding along the road to Wakefield when he passed a police car going the opposite way. The P plater was clearly speeding but the Police car with his lights blaring continued to drive on.

The P Plater thought he got away with it.

A few hours later, the same Police car showed up in Wakefield, tracked down the owner of a white Nissan Skyline 350GT and booked him on the spot.

Apparently the reason the police car didn't turn around to chase him, is that he [policeman] was already involved on a pursuit. So the policeman completed that first pursuit, then came back to trackdown the Skyline driver, chancing he was in Wakefield - which he was. :?




That sucks. Unless the cop had radar evidence of speeding why couldn't he have just said no he wasn't speeding?? Unless he admitted to it.

video cameras in Highway patrol cars capture speed and number plate data - hard to escape. Goulburn is Highway Patrol central (they train there, so there are way more cars out and about with trainees in them) - there is no way I would venture past the posted limit anywhere near there.
