Young Drivers Try and Clock "Top Speed." Residents Angry

Some Aberdeen (UK) area residents are dismayed to find that kids are trying to get "high score" on signs intended to make speeders slow down. Living on a rather fast street myself, I share these folks' concern; but at a young age the lure of impressing your friends with a local speed record is probably inevitable. I think the remedy here is to simply have the sign flash after a certain speed, let's say 10 MPH over, and not actually display the speed of the vehicle. For most young drivers that would mean "game over."
