A TRUCK driver has found out the hard way that you don’t need to be caught by a radar to be booked for speeding in New South Wales.

Chris Smith was driving a B-Double on the Newell Highway on Saturday when was pulled over by a Highway Patrol officer as part of Operation Drink Drive at about 5.10pm.

Mr Smith began filming his interaction with the officer who told the driver he hadn’t been caught on the patrol car’s radar but had been estimated by the officer to be speeding.

The video, which was posted to the man’s Facebook page, has been viewed more than 1.2 million times since being uploaded less than half an hour after being handed the fine.

[...]Mr Smith wrote on his Facebook page he was checking his speed using his onboard GPS and it hadn’t indicated he was over the limit.

“To set the record straight, I just finished checking the speed on the truck via Tom Tom web fleet and not once did the truck go over the said speed limit,” he wrote.
