A cheeky barber is giving passing motorists' speed a trim - tricking drivers into slowing down by standing outside his salon in a hi-vis jacket and pointing his hairdryer at traffic. Paul Johnson decided to take matters into his own hands in a bid to get drivers to use their brakes after becoming concerned about the number of people speeding on the one way system outside his shop.
Photos show the dad-of-three, 51, standing outside his salon wearing a hi-vis jacket and pretending to read the driver's speeds with a hairdryer as they whizz down the one-way street past his business. Paul said he performed the quick five-minute prank between clients as a bit of fun but was shocked when every car that passed slowed down.
The hairdresser-of-37-years says the stunt was such as success he will continue to do it, while others are asking him to bring his hairdryer to trick drivers on other dangerous roads in the area. Paul, who owns Johnson Gentlemen's Hair Salon said: "My shop is located on the one-way system through Northwich and we do get quite a few people speeding around here.
