A mom who was tired of drivers speeding down the road in her town decided to take a stand and came up with her own creative sign to slow them down. In a post on Netmums, the anonymous parent writes that cars “absolutely rocket through” on what’s supposed to be a 30 mph limit street and she’s afraid a child is going to get seriously hurt. But instead of just complaining about it, she took matters into her own hands.
The mom explains that she printed and mounted “alternative signage” and stuck it to a bridge, in plain view of all the speeders. The large sign is a photo of a child holding up a sign that reads: “Slow down d**khead.” And even though it includes a curse word, she doesn’t care and says it actually worked and that “cars were slowing down significantly.”
Of course, some people will object to the “vulgar” word she chose for her sign, but the mom says, “it worries me that drivers would be more worried by the idea of a child swearing at them than the idea of killing a child with their reckless driving.” She says she knows it’s a small step and doesn’t know how long it’ll stick around, but if it slows someone down and saves a life, she’s happy.
