Anyway - it is a commonly known fact...

Anyway - it is a commonly known fact that policemen in rural communities have difficulty finding many lawbreakers, so spend their time catching the easiest ones to catch; the speed merchants. These are great as you can sit in your car out of the weather cleverly disguised as a large bush, having a doze most of the time and nail the odd so-and-sos when you wake up and spot them exceeding the limit. In the course of a days work you may have been able to nail 4 or 5 lawbreakers which is good for the statistics even if revenue is less than expense and more difficult cases are ignored. And everyone knows that cows have a nifty turn of speed when it comes to suicide, so even if you have a clear visibility of several hundred metres in all directions of featureless outback, one of the beasts is sure to be in danger of hurling itself at your car from behind what you thought was a small bush. Let's face it if you were a cow with nothing to eat but red soil, you'd take the same way out. If you need proof of how easy it is to disguise yourself in the outback; you didn't spot the police car did you?
