A grandmother in Montana was worried about fast drivers speeding down a road near where her grandchildren play.

To deter the speeders, Patti Forest Baumgartner placed a comfy chair on the side of the road, and with drink in hand, held up a hair dryer in an effort to confuse fast drivers into thinking it was a radar gun.  

Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Noah Pesola was notified of Ms. Patti’s creative way to keep kids safe, and deemed her an honorary Trooper for her efforts.
