Queensland motorists ‘tricked by pranksters into getting caught by a speed camera’

>

Blazing fast pranksters fool drivers into thinking that there is – and then there is none – a speed camera up front… just for them to get a VERY rude shock

  • Drivers on a busy road in Queensland have been fooled by some pranksters
  • Comedy duo Marty and Michael recorded the joke as they drove past them
  • A prankster was holding a sign warning motorists of a speed camera on the road
  • Then they put up two signs saying there was no camera when there was

A comedy duo, along with other motorists, have claimed to have been duped for speeding in front of a mobile speed camera.

Two pranksters fooled the drivers in Queensland with a series of signs warning them of a speed camera ahead, then admitted it was a joke… seconds before a real speed camera appeared.

Comedic couple Marty and Michael, who post skits on their social media channels, shared a clip of the joke on their TikTok account.

However, it’s unclear if they caught on to the prank and staged their reactions, while hundreds of other drivers are caught just making a video.

The duo drives on the main road past a man holding a sign that reads: ‘Flash camera ahead!’

“That’s for the best, thanks!” says one of the comedians as both men cheer.

Then they see two more signs on a street lamppost down the road that jokingly say, “Just kidding. Made you slower.’

The couple chuckle at the joke, while the driver responds: ‘F**king a**eholes, speeding up’.

He puts his foot on the accelerator to accelerate before the couple see a real mobile speed camera in front of them.

“Oh wait, wait a minute. Oh my god,” the passenger says.

The driver puts his foot on the brake as they pass the camera.

Just behind the camera is a second prankster with a sign saying “Sorry.”

The first sign warned motorists of a speed camera ahead, before two more signs at a street lamp post down the road revealed drivers had been tricked into 'slowing down'
