Police warn speeding motorists: Slow down or we’ll tell mum
Residents joked that a telling-off from mum was far scarier than the prospect of prison.
Police have come up with a novel new weapon in the battle against speeding.
Officers in a town in America are attempting to tackle the issue with a roadside sign that reads: “Slow down or we will call your mom.”
And the sign definitely seemed to be chiming with Facebook users.
One commented: “My daughter texted me and asked if I had anything to do with the sign”.
Another wrote: “Jail doesn’t scare me as much as the wrath of ‘Momzilla’… FWIW… I’m 46 and still cringe if she gives me the 100 yard stare”.
They wrote: “We meant this to be funny but on a serious note, please slow down (25mph) when driving through town. We are a walking town and want to keep our residents safe.”
