Rob Adcock,who lives in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, decided to make his three-year-old daughter and neighbourhood safe from prevalence of speeding vehicles in his locality.

He got a fake speed detecting car installed on the road adjacent to his house, so that people could adhere to speed limits of the area. “It is doing the nut in of all the people who live around here, they’re not happy. So I thought what could I do to help? What actually makes people slow down?” Rob said in the video.
