Certainly a novel idea that's for sure!

lol... that is a giggle... but serious, anyone who speeds through little villages or towns (especially during the summer when the schools are out) deserves all they get...

Cant believe the police agree with them impersonating police offices, is that not against the law.

Maybe I'm just a miserable old fart today but......

Fcuking busybodies. These are the sort of people who petition for speed cameras and humps everywhere. Shoot them all.
Speeding through villages is irresponsible, but in the current climate stuff like this will just serve to make driving sensibly but enthusiastically as bad as fiddling with children.

I cant understand how anyone falls for these, they would be more realistic without the yellow jackets on and hiding behind the nearest bush.

In Ash, Somerset where my folks live, they have old gits working with the police to stop speeding through the village. The police have given these busybodies speed detectors, if they catch you speeding, they take a note of your reg and notify the police who will then send you a warning...
Whilst I agree with the above about speeding thru villages, I think this is going too far...
