Slow down, you move too fast!

Hubby is on the local community council, and this is one of the recent projects - dressing dummies as policeman and women and using them to try and get cars to slow down. No idea if it actually works or not, but we had the responsibility of getting this ex-Debenhams girl, Twiggy, dressed and out there. Dad's wellies and shirt. Husband's trousers. Fancy dress police hat. My cycling vest. We have had her in our garage for a few weeks now, scaring the life out of us every time we walk in. So, now she's out working. One of the local residents came out and thanked us for putting her there as he has a terrible time getting in and out of his driveway as people speed down the straight, often overtaking and exceeding the speed limit of 60 mph. I-phone to the rescue as I took the camera with me, minus the memory card. Doh.

I'm sure it works instantly but might have the effect that other real cops might not be believed!

[Pat Knowles]

Well I hope Twiggy gives all your speeding motorists the shock of their lives! A bit of brake pressing there! She’s a very glam policewoman, the best styling she’s ever had & probably more covered up too!

[Valerie Chesney]

I so hope this works too..I think I would get a shock to see a policewoman behind a pole.

[Ian George]

Nice shot of Twiggy. Not so glamorous here where they are made out of cardboard..

[Lesley]

What a brilliant idea. I’m sure this will work.

[Dianne]

I hope she makes people think about their speed and actions on the road.

[Babs]

I love it what a great idea. I hope Twiggy makes people slow down

[Shannon]

People might stop to help her, thinking she's been kidnapped and tied to the pole by her kidnappers!

[LManning (Laura)]

She appears to be quite flexible, with her feet facing one direction and her torso another! Hope it has the desired effect.

[Issi Bannerman]

@sjoblues Ha ha!

[Yoland]

Lovely idea, I had the same thought when I saw the picture someone might think she has perhaps being kidnapped and tied to the pole.
If anything it will slow people down for curiosity sake.

[Milanie]

Clever

[Judith Johnson]

Oh well done, what a great idea - I hope it works. I like the scenery behind too.

[Cazzi]

Great idea. I hope it has the desired effect.

[Bep]

What a clever idea!

[Tunia McClure]

I think Twiggy can do the job.

[Lin]

Nicely captured - hope she gets the job done!

[Dawn]

It might make some slow down thats for sure

[Casablanca]

Ha ha, the new guy is up, eh! Love these. So funny. I womder how effective they are?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I hope it works- let me know and maybe I'll put one out in my front yard for the motorcyclists who think our street is a raceway. I'm glad to see she's strapped on there too. Someone else whose community had one of these had theirs stolen. Really?!!

[Kathy]

Fun shot! The police here leave cars, with and without dummies inside, at various places, especially on the sides of the interstate.

[Leslie]

well, that's definitely a double take as you ride by.

[Tom]

Fantastic ..would get me to slow down

[Taffy]

Definitely an interesting scene!

[Gosia]

Good photo for "Scenesoftheroad" competition

[Sarah Bremner]

This is brilliant!
I'm sure it will be effective. At Home Bargains stores they have life size cardboard cutout policeman and I always 'notice' him.
Same guy at Inverurie and Tain!!

[Monique]

Interesting and creative

[Denise Wood]

Great idea :)
