A pair of teenage brothers made their village a safer place to live when they put up a fake speed camera.
George, 14, and 13-year-old Freddie Guest tricked drivers into slowing down in their village - Lepton, near Huddersfield.

The boys paid great attention to detail - even putting strips of tape on the road to make approaching drivers believe a camera was coming up.
They made their camera out of a cardboard box, which they painted yellow and attached to a pole.
Effective
The road is a popular short-cut with drivers and local people say a lot of them drive too fast.
But when the brothers' "camera" went up, the drivers slowed down.
"It is incredible that a simple yellow box could be so effective," said the boys' dad.
The box has now been taken down.
But anti-speed campaigners say the boys' trick proves that the cameras do make people slow down.
