Man busts mobile speed camera travelling 10km over limit in Queensland
A driver "ironically" filmed a mobile speed camera operator breaking the law by travelling 10km/h over the limit on a Queensland highway.
Connor Egan was furious after catching a speed operator on his smartphone clocking 120km/h on a 110km/h while driving in the outside lane.
The 25-year-old called the driver of the vehicle in front of him a "sneaky, sly b*****d" and claimed the person "should be fired for his actions".
"The man driving this car represents a private company that sits on the side of the road and takes speeding photos of us to prevent speeding and keep us safe," he wrote on Facebook.
"I hope this video gets shared and the representative of this company gets fired or at a minimum fined and looses his license like every single one of us would."
One Facebook user has accused Mr Egan of driving while using a mobile phone, however he claimed somebody in the back held the mobile speedometer and filmed the incident.
Ruth Tsitimbinis wrote: "And the other is using a hand held device while following that."
Mr Egan replied: "That's someone sitting in the back holding it."
The video was posted to Facebook on November 21 and has been viewed over 71,000 times.
The operation and maintenance of mobile speed cameras are outsourced by police to a third-party private company and are responsible for handing out tickets on Australian highways.
The exact amount of money collected by these private firms for speeding across Australia is not available.
