Two mums who have been left fearing for their children's safety after speeding motorists have been zooming past their road have been left subjected to abuse by the drivers - with one calling them "a f****** disgrace".
The parents, from Wales, are on a mission to stop speeding drivers in their area, after watching drivers "fly past"their homes at dangerous speeds, despite the 30mph speed limit, report North Wales Live.
Penny Hughes and Rhian Mai claim that drivers regularly break the legal limit on the stretch of the A470, which runs through their village of Dolwyddelan.
This dangerous driving is now putting local residents and children at risk, the mothers say.
Penny said: "There was a motorbike crash right outside my house in the summer holidays and it's really frightening that somebody could knock our children down.
"There are children who play on the drive and in the front garden where the crash happened and crushed the wall, so it's really worrying because cars just fly past. The road goes from a 60mph to 30 I just don't get why people feel the need to overtake in a 30, it's really dangerous."
She continued to say: "We can't have speed bumps because it's the A470 but we need something here to make it safer because it's really worrying as it is.
"We do feel like we have been forgotten and something has to happen for the police to come out. After the motorbike crash they did come out about a week later but now they've stopped coming again."
The pair have decided to take matters into their own hands, and so have signed up to the North Wales Police's Community Speed Watch Scheme to catch speeding drivers in the act.
Armed with a speed gun, the pair clocked 17 drivers breaking the speed limit within their first two hours on the job.
Penny says that she signed up to the volunteer scheme to keep the community safe, but their presence has not been well-received by everyone, explaining: "We've had people shout abuse at us from their cars as they go past.
"Some people just stare but we had one person shout "you're a f****** disgrace" as they drove past. But at the end of the day it's a problem for us who have kids and something needs to be done about it.
"We'd like more volunteers to sign up to help us because it's quite difficult with just the two of us. We're hoping that people will start to take notice and stop speeding because they know they'll get caught."
Community Speed Watch volunteers are given training and equipment by North Wales Police which allows them to monitor vehicle speeds and log the details with the police.
