A VANDAL has put a dent on the number of speeding offences recorded on the M1 — in an unusual, and questionable fashion.

A mobile speed camera located on the Southbound side of the M1 near Coomera has been spray painted and was rendered out of order for a short time this week.

The image posted on a northern Gold Coast community page was shared over a hundred times, prompting thanks from residents. The image was posted with the caption “modern problem, modern solution.”

The speed camera is now out of order.

Other commenters were less than impressed.

“To be 100 per cent honest. You do realise, if you don’t speed, you got nothing to worry about?” one viewer wrote.
