Had his own "speed control" with a hairdryer and reflective jacket.
Did you drive too fast Friday night, and are you worried if you were caught by the police?
If it was at Habberstad in Eidsvoll, you will not have a sore fine - this time.
Monica Nerby looked sorry that the motorists were passing at high speed and decided to take the matter into their own hands.
Friday night she was visiting some friends at Habberstad in Eidsvoll. They sat outside and grilled on the porch, and observed that the cars outside kept high speeds, says Nerby, who lives in the area himself.
Took the matter into my own hands
"They were driving faster than the speed limit," she says.
The speed limit is here at 60 kilometers per hour.
That's when the company talked together and realized that they could perhaps help slow down the road. They had previously heard of a child who had done something similar.
Wearing a reflective jacket with reflective tape and a hairdryer, Monica Nerby sat down in the grass and "aimed" at the fast-moving passing.
Hairdryer gave effect
According to Nerby, it gave a clear effect, and she says that the brake lights were used when motorists discovered her on the ground
"They brake very fast, and sat and looked stiff in front of them as they passed. It was a bit strange," Nerby says.
She sat on the "mail" for about half an hour, making up for the speed on the road.
"After all, some cars passed, it was quite fun," she says.
But now isn't it tempting to work in UP?
"No, at least not with a reflective jacket on a hot day," Nerby says with a laugh - but she still thinks it should stick with this as a one-off event.
Not familiar with similar
Operations manager Terje Skaftnes in Romerike police district is not familiar with similar experiments in the area.
"It is the police who will carry out speed checks, and no one else," he emphasizes.
"Then there are local variants on-site that slow down the speed. I have no antidotes to it," he says.
