Unbelievable
Some of the world's top rally drivers were caught by speed cameras around the site of the British leg of the world championship, a court has been told.

Uhm... but the pic showed is clearly fake..
Were they shooted prior to the rally while they were "testing" the roads? In that case, obviously, the rules say they have to repect road rules..
But the pic was taken during the rally itself ... and it's clearly Photshopped...

Yeah, I got your point.. maybe it was just created to add something to their lines..
But the whole story seems so wrong.. it would be like putting speed traps during Monaco GP LOL!
The roads were closed for the rally, the Rally has all the needed permissions from the State and the Police...
So it sound so strange...
BTW, the last rally was held at the end of 2002, many months ago.. so why the news came out only now?

speed cameras are a very hot subject in the UK right now...to the point where there are almost riots taking place...and lynching the govenment...we also have had a farmer put in prision for shooting a burglar....our whole "justice" system is way beyond a joke now...
I got caught the other day...doing 41 mph in a 30 mph zone heading onto a 70 mph carriage way (1 minute away)....a total "trap"
the police force responsible for the rally tickets hand out an average 4,200 speeding tickets per month against solving 6% of all burglaries....the only place soon that will not have any speeding cameras will be the pavement (sidewalk) soon....
they have only just taken the drivers to court now...thats why its making the papers now
