Google's own car speeding catch by Street View

There are all sorts of weird and wonderful detail hidden in Street View: take the road of St. George in Glasgow, for example, where you can clearly see car camera Google clocking up 37 miles per hour thanks to the sign on the side Of the road.

The telltale piece of digital evidence was discovered by Dutchman Twan van Duivenbooden who shared his discovery on Twitter. He works in Glasgow, which goes some way to explain why he was studying Street View images of the city in such detail.

Thanks to the reflections in the nearby building you can see the Google Street View car towards no traffic signal ahead. Other signs on the road suggests that the car is in an area of 20 mph - or perhaps about to enter one - so it is well above the limit.

So far there has been no response from Google, but no doubt there will be willing to tell their hired drivers to be more careful while grabbing images 360 degrees - the cars themselves are hardly inconspicuous and any misdemeanor could get photographed for posterity.
