It is in Australia. The regular speed cameras (radar+photo) are high res and clearly show the driver - very difficult to argue you weren't driving the car.

  My question is a bit rhetorical, and ridiculous, but I'll ask it anyway - is there any corresponding law in Australia that prohibits one from driving disguised or dressed in such a way that it is impossible to determine who is actually driving?

    I don't think there would be, because you still have to sign a legal document to say it was you, or nominate the person it was. So even if you had a gorilla suit on, you'd still have to sign it to say who was in the gorilla suit. So I don't think the photo is used as a legal argument - they still have them on at night - but merely to make it crystal clear to the owner of the vehicle who was driving it at the time. Interestingly, there is a loophole whereby a vehicle registered to a company instead of an individual can foregoe the identification of the driver, but they must pay a much higher fine. This is to assist with companies that may own a fleet of vehicles and it's impossible to determine who was driving what car when. It's a loophole people with cash + their own business use so their own licences don't get affected. Not many know about it.
