Default Dick Johnson Road Safety Ambassador

Not sure if this has been posted before and I am not here to discredit the guy, I am actually a fan, but the photo was priceless for someone who is the QLD Governments Road Safety Ambassador



Hah, we are all, after all, only human!

Dick was actually turning his phone off at the time the image was captured.

He realised it was still turned on and, in an effort to set a good example, he switched it off.

so how long did the photographer have to stake him out to get that pic?

At work once we had a photographer sit outside our office all day waiting to get a pic of the General managers 4WD for a major sydney newspaper to run a beat up story about it being a little bit too high, lot of effort to go to to get one crummy pic.
