It turns out that the camera at the bottom of the hill is, indeed, turned on and connected to the system. 151 km/h = 91 mph (as seen on the top of the page) the fine was 200 RMB, or roughly $25 and 1 point (of 12) on my record.
The header (from left to right) displays the date, time, how fast and exactly where on the highway I was. Doh.
-BOB-
ps - the only reason I have this is because I kept asking the police officer at the station if he could email me the picture (it looks much more impressive in color with the red car, I must say). He said all he could do is give me a print-out, that’s why 1/2 the picture isn’t there. BTW, the Chinese license plates display a character for the province, followed by the city letter (in this case, E for Chuxiong).
That’s why it’s ?E 36958. ? = Yun, short for Yunnan, or ??
Xfrd 25.41. (google conversion gave a more precise figure for rmb). I feel responsible for these types of videos since I got the party started with my own speed racer videos. That reminds me, I should make some more videos. Tom
btw, your car looks f-ing badass in this photo! I have not seen this model in the states yet.
Heh. Thanks. I like the look of it too. I was just admiring it today, as a matter of fact, when the wind was blowing and a metal sign flew over and bashed into the front of it! Luckily it just get the license plate, how lucky was I. No damage done, but took a big scratch out of the metal license plate.
I looked on the internet, and it’s true, they don’t sell this model or design in the US. It must be for China only. We were the trend setters in Chuxiong, now there about 5-6 Focus S owners. Copy cats!
Did I tell you we took it into the shop and got all the dings and paint dings taken out? Insurance covered it, no deductible. Now it’s just like new.
