Caught by a Hairdryer

On a country lane near me there's a weird thing going on in some of the villages where they're all made little scarecrow things, like old couples sitting on the bench.
One of them is positioned perfectly on a corner with a speed gun! "Amusing" when you know it's there but not if you just turn the corner and see it!

Why dont a load of people go down there and drive drunk, like total idiots, endangering life - but at 29MPH.
They would be totally safe
Its a good compramise - c
ts get to be c
ts while killing people and moving them down and the locals can safely retire in the knowledge that the speed limit is being obayd..

Well if you must move into pretty Dorset villages and pay over the top but ignore the fact its got the A30 going through it, what do you expect, hah ha ha ha.
Perhaps if they had'nt closed all the other post offices then you would'nt have to cross the road so often.
I think I'll pop down down there for some test runs in the car tonight, must sort out all that backfiring & flamage I'm getting.

What makes me laugh is that the villagers aren't really upset at the cars for "speeding". They're upset at the cars.
They'd really rather the cars didn't come through the village at all.
Fair enough. Campaign for a by-pass I say. Better for (almost) everyone.
This lot are the kind that go red in the face when I drive through the village at 25mph. It really isn't about the speed.

What prats,
I loathe people who do this sort of thing.
to me its right up there, with driving about, with a hi-viz garment folded up on the parcel shelf,
(pre-'Baby on board' days)
which was somehow meant to denote social conscience, if not actually full 'plod-ship' in a;
'do'nt dare overtake me, or you'll get a raffle ticket"
Sonny!!!

They did something similar in a village down the road from me a few years ago, Whitmore, locals built mock speed cameras, fully painted up etc. and placed them at each end of the village. The village is little more than a poorly sighted crossroads and a busy A-road and it does really need a real camera (one of the few places i would support it), however it didnt take the loal kids long to rip them down and deposit them at their school leaver's day.
