Rob Adcock decorated his vehicle with a specially designed magnetic sticker with the words ‘speed camera’ on the back as part of his vagina. On the poster, a small print reveals the true identity of the van.
The van was also decorated with reflective striped stickers, while Robb himself wore a high jacket while watching the drivers for an hour and a half. He decided to take action on the 30 mph road in Staffordshire Moorlands to try to make the busy road safer.
He posted a video on TikTok, which has since garnered over a million views, showing one’s father showing the van’s impact on traffic. As the vehicles approached the truck going down the hill, they would quickly slow down.

Rob, who ordered the stickers from Signability at Fenton, told StokeonTrentLive: “I moved to the area about six years ago. The speed limit was 40 mph, but it dropped to 30 mph several years ago. people living here have done a lot of campaigning to improve road safety and ideally I would like to have a walkway to the top.
“After I became a dad I became more sensitive to something like that. Orla wants to go to the “deep dark wood” at the top of the road, but so many times we had to run across the road because the cars are flying down. .

“I run a social media business and I thought I might be able to do something to help, because I know how to make a video go viral. I did it two weeks ago, but I’ve been planning it for a long time. that someone who was driving on this road was running fast, but they reacted when they saw the van and you could see their brake lights “.
But not everyone was impressed with Rob’s release trick. He added: “I made the video from a light point of view and about 70 percent of the comments were positive, but some were awful.
“I was in a lot of trouble and I make people say they hope to get cancer. It’s an extreme reaction to something where I literally say please do not rush to our village. I borrowed the van and I could do it again.
“A lot of people have contacted me to ask me to come to their area. It is too early to say if it had any impact, but it draws attention to the issue and if it prevents people from speeding, that is the main thing. “
In the video, Rob is heard saying, “I made a fake truck with a speed camera to make my head slow down where I live. So I live on this road and I’m supposed to be 30, but there are always some muppets like this d *** the past flies here. “
Then the video shows and the image of a crashed car in front of Rob hardens. He explained that a speeding driver lost control of his vehicle and landed them on his property.
Rob’s daughter, Orla, is also seen in the video shouting at the cars “Slow down! She’s 30 for some reason!”
Rob added: “Whenever Orla asks to go for a walk or in the woods, you think in the back of your mind, ‘What do I do if a car falls down a hill?’ If you have children, just think about what it should be like when you are asked to go to the park. You think: “Will they get there in one piece?”
“The Staffordshire Moorlands County Council has done things to try to slow down the road, but the people around here want more.
“They have been campaigning to take further steps to normalize traffic for some time now. Hopefully this will help. There are two large schools at the bottom of the hill and several blind alleys. There is no proper crossing yet. you think it’s an accident waiting to happen. “
Robb’s trick did not seem to bother any of the local authorities, with Staffordshire police confirming that they have not received any complaints and will not take any action against him. A spokesman said: “From the information provided, we do not believe any offenses have been committed and no additional reports have been submitted by members of the public.
“The force, as part of the Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership, welcomes and encourages feedback from communities on road safety issues. Local officers are working to contact the resident to discuss their concerns.”
