Police aren't fooled by roaming road sign

SIGN OF THE TIMES: The image

POLICE are investigating the strange case of a road sign which seemed to move around a mile down the road.
Officers were alerted last week to the appearance of the 40mph sign in Chelmsley Wood.
The motorist who called to let them know was confused because they understood that the stretch of road where it had materialised was in fact a 30mph zone.
The eagle-eyed driver's instincts were quite correct and it appears that a fellow motorist pilfered the sign from a stretch of the Chester Road  - out towards the NEC - and installed it at the new location.
Officers suspect that the culprit may have been caught breaking the limit in a pre-Christmas crackdown on speeding and, having since received a ticket in the post, has made a desperate attempt to excuse their actions by claiming that there was an incorrect sign already in place at the time of their offence.
Police have said they are investigating the incident and, posting on Twitter, warned that by trying to avoid three points on their licence, the culprit could instead face a far more serious punishment - possibly even a custodial sentence.
