Police in Victoria and New South Wales are considering buying the world's most advanced speed camera, so accurate it can catch you 600m away using a cellphone or not wearing a seatbelt.
The A$18,500 ($23,800) Concept II laser speed camera is being used by British police. The camera is able to record a still image and video evidence to DVD.
Last month Victoria police detected 5734 mobile-phone driving offences and 3584 seatbelt breaches in a 52-day holiday road blitz.
The two cameras being used in Britain are not yet recording video evidence, but have already caught some bizarre behaviour on stills.
Project manager Brian Austin said one driver was caught playing a harmonica using both hands. "He thought he was driving quite successfully while playing the instrument," he said.
