People must be applauded for trying to improve road safety themselves. Father-of-three Tim Dews has installed his own speed camera in his Warminster garden in a bid to slow motorists down.

Mr Dews was sparked into action because he was fed up of witnessing accidents near his home. He has already noticed motorists have been slowing down since the camera was installed. It is sad that the only time some motorists are willing to slow down is when there is the threat of a speeding conviction. But it seems like it is too much to ask for people to be safety conscious at all times.
