On the N403 linking Sint-Niklaas to Hulst, the speed limit set at 50 km/h is not always respected.
Exasperated that the authorities do not act, this 57-year-old resident took matters into his own hands.
Building a radar for this body shop worker turned out to be easy.
“I downloaded some images from the Internet and started working on them.
Another neighbor printed the sticker of the Gatsomer company, which manufactures most of the radars in our country, ”he explained to our colleagues.

The fake radar having been installed in his garden and not on the public highway, the Belgian does not risk any prosecution.
The police even seem to approve of the initiative.
"If it allows people to drive more slowly, we have no problem with that," said the police chief of the Waasland-Nord zone.
