Bob* was riding across the Kurilpa Bridge into the city on a quiet school holiday Friday morning, also coincidentally World Car-Free Day, when ... BAM, he was $464 poorer.

In one of the neighboring towns there is a speed trap set at 10km/h. It is set up in a pedestrian zone to keep trucks at bay during delivery time in the morning. Nonetheless, people have found that they can trigger the device by simply running towards it, so they had to upgrade it to somehow ignore pedestrians.
