11 year old boy training to be a traffic cop

July 17, 2008 10:09am CST
A youngster used to shout at speeders to slow down as they drove through the Stone Lakes subdivision in Louisville has now taken matters into his own hands. Dressed in a reflective vest, a bicycle helmet and armed with an orange Hot Wheels brand radar gun which he points and records the actual speed of passing traffic. Landon also carries a flashlight with a built in siren. Resident George said "When I saw it happening, I got the biggest kick out of it. People were locking their brakes when they saw him." Most people in the subdivision are frustrated that motorists tear through the neighbourhood at 55mph despite signposts stating a 25mph limit. Officials said the city will install speed humps in the neighbourhood if 70% of residents agree and are willing to put up half of the money!! Isnt it bad enough that they pay tax and things which go towards stuff like this but now they have to pay extra to have speed humps installed for the safety of the residents!!

Probably nothing would of happened if this kid would not of stepped up to the plate and did what he did. It's amazing what taking an extra step can do.
