Dale Rooks, a school crossing guard in Florida, tried everything to get cars to slow down through the school zone. But nothing worked…until he took a blow dryer and wrapped it in electrical tape, making it look like a radar gun.

Dale just points the thing at cars, and it’s incredible how quickly they hit the brakes.

"It’s almost comical," Dale says. "It’s amazing how well it works." They wouldn’t slow down for a crossing guard, until they thought he was a cop who could punish them.
