A barber has been hailed a 'hero' for preventing a 'serious accident' when traffic lights failed on a busy A-road - by flamboyantly conducting cars with a rainbow-coloured feather duster. Paul Taylor predicted traffic chaos when he noticed the signal failure on Chesterfield Road, Sheffield, on June 8.
But when the 46-year-old's girlfriend Tammy Corbidge drove up to the four-way junction he was stunned to spot a man standing in the middle with a brightly coloured feather duster. Footage shows local barber Mo Qadir waving the brush to signal cars to cross the A-road from Scarsdale Road while holding other traffic back by raising a finger on his left hand.
He then 'stylishly' lowers his brush to tell the flowing cars to stop before waving Tammy, 46, and vehicles on Chesterfield Road forward. Motorists appeared to obey 28-year-old Mo's signals perfectly and Paul even shouts 'top man' out of the window to show respect to the good Samaritan.
