Patti Baumgartner, a grandma, learned that people in her neighborhood were disregarding speed warnings, and she decided to take matters into her own hands to ensure their safety.
She posted on Facebook on the 17th of August, 2019, that she was doing her part to help keep Finley Point, Montana, safe from people who drive too fast, and she cautioned them all to slow down when driving through the area.

Baumgartner is a native of South Finley Point, Montana, and she has remarked that vehicles are motivated to slow down merely by aiming her hairdryer towards traffic that passes by her because they believe she genuinely has a speed detector.

When her son saw her solution in action, he thought it was very funny and decided to tweet a picture of it to a Highway Patrol Trooper named Noah Pesola.

Baumgartner had actually tried to hide from him, but it was no use with him having her picture.
