YOUNG motorists are getting caught by speed cameras – and loving every minute of it.
They’ve all been caught by the “Safety Cam-Car” devised by one-time convicted speeder Ashley Heron.
And the fun car at Bury’s Millgate Shopping Centre is leaving other rides, like Noddy and Postman Pat, far behind in the popularity stakes.
Parents, who have to fork out £1.50 for each one minute ride, may not be quite so enthusiastic.
40 rides equals a real ticket, but without the points.. There’s hope for me yet..
The Safety Cam-Car costs £3,995 to make – but Mr Heron thinks it is a small price for teaching the next generation of motorists something about road safety.
Youngsters enjoy the ride in the cute little car – but at the end there is a flash and they are presented with a “caught speeding” photograph with a random speed printed on it.
The speed recorded is always over the limit.
Mr Heron is managing director of Derbyshire-based firm Fun2Learn, which manufactures numerous rides.
He says he was inspired to create the ride after being caught speeding himself.
“I lost my licence through being caught speeding. I travel a lot, like many other people, and it happens,” he said.
“The ride is a good way of warning kids about speeding and safety cameras. There is nothing like catching them young if you want to get the message across.”
Mmmmmm. What can one say!!
