News flash "Idiots skateboard through Heysen Tunnels on South Eastern Freeway"
THREE men - including a Western Australian - caught skateboarding on the South-Eastern Freeway through the Heysen Tunnels this morning were fined $171.
The men - a 23-year-old of Kingscote, a St Morris man, 22, and a South Fremantle man, 20 - were captured on security cameras riding longboards through the Heysen Tunnels about 2am.
Police later stopped the men and issued on-the-spot fines for riding a skateboard on a road at speeds over 50 km/h, riding a skateboard at night and riding a skateboard on the freeway.
The tunnels are constantly used by hundreds of vehicles, including heavy trucks.
The misuse of roadways should be reported to the police, Constable Kynan Lang said.
"This (skatebording) is not appropriate and will be dealt with accordingly," he said.

They fined us for:
Skating on a road with a speed limit of 50 or above.
Skating on a road at night.
Skating on a road featuring a dividing line.
Fine: $27
Crime levy: $30
All charges carried the same fine.
There go our sets of wheels for Newtons...

Thank you for supporting the victims of crime. You are good lads doing your bit for the community. No one else was out supporting victims of crime last night at 2 am. Thats why you got busted. :D
Take it to court,... that way they have to work for the money,... providing more jobs for South Australians.

Excellent laugh, and good to see you almost got 4 runs, might be an idea to stop at 2 tonight!
Putting truck crashes into the story also shows you how hyped it is getting.
They miss the point that just living in SA exposes you to serial killers!
Adelaide will no doubt impress with another triple murder or two to take media attention off it!
In the meantime, lets all hope the politicians don't get too excited about about this.

so it wasn't $171 each... $57 * 3 = $171!
tax deductible? :p
