ans Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 My nomination for slowing down speeding drivers is embeddded nails in the middle of the road and copious amounts of vaseline left on the tarmac leading into corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 They've had cardboard cut out coppers on the island before. Seem to work quite well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 And I imagine the cardboard cut outs will do almost as much police work as the real thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_Naylor Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 They used to have one in Braid Village a few years back, it did catch you attention the first time and make you slow down. I often wondered why they didnt swop him for a real copper every now and again, just to catch people out that were used to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posters Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Employing a cardboard cut-out has probably raised the average IQ, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan Kerr Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 And did make - the one in St Marks got nicked. Me thinks that there is a whole "Cardboard Culver-force" taking root in our hedgerows. I bet they make great tobogans next time it snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 My nomination for slowing down speeding drivers is embeddded nails in the middle of the road and copious amounts of vaseline left on the tarmac leading into corners. Yes that should do it ! Just out of curiosity ... is it just me but does anyone else take notice of those electronic SLOW DOWN signs which are scattered here and there on the Island ? They always make me check my speed if Ive crept up over the limit. Maybe my time in the RN has left me too well disciplined ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
