Eleven year-old Landon Wilburn is most likely loved or hated in the Stone Lakes subdivision of Louisville. While other olds are playing baseball, or video games he has made it his
mission in life to slow speeders.
At first he would shout at them telling them to slow down. Apparently his shouts didn't impress them. Now he wears a reflective vest, a bicycle helmet,and is armed with a flashlight with a built in siren and a Hot Wheels brand radar gun which he points and records the speed of passing vehicles.Toys are a lot more realistic these days, judging from the number of drivers who have locked up their brakes when they spotted him clocking them and heard the siren, unnerving to the most devoted speeder!
The city will install speed bumps if 70 percent of the residents agree and are willing to put up half the money. It might be a good idea, Landon won't be interested in this volunteer job forever.
