A cheeky barber is turning up the heat on speeding motorists - by giving them the hairdryer treatment.
Paul Johnson decided to take action after becoming concerned about drivers failing to slow down on a one-way system outside his shop.
Between customers, he dons a high-vis jacket and stands on the pavement, where he points his hairdryer at traffic, tricking drivers into thinking it’s a radar gun.

He said it was such a success he has continued to repeat the trick on a regular basis.
