And they all think you're giving the scout salute...

Since it's you, Harmattan, has it occurred to you to put the device in yr windscreen and have a W African slogan or message on it?
'Oh God', 'Baba O', 'Mami Wota', you know the sort of thing. It wd help of course to beat yr car up a bit, take all the side glass out and paint the remainder sky-blue with slightly wavering and rococo scarlet and white coachlines...

Hopefullly it will be an unmarked Police BMW and the consequent reaction will cost you money and points !

Kwabo. Round this neck of the woods, most people speak Fon which is not all that useful in the UK. However, as you will know many cars in West Africa and almost all motorbikes have an uplifting message close by on the cars or replacing the number plate on the bikes. 'God/Allah is watching us' may be enough to get a tail-gater to back off, if only on the assumption there is an even scarier driver in front! I recall that when driving in Costa Rica a few years back every truck I met on the wrong side of the road coming round blind bends had something like 'God is with me' written in Spanish on the front.

Doubtless the African diaspora having its beneficent effect. Perhaps we in Europe should take to our own brand of these things.
'I am married to a lawyer'. 'I weigh eighteen stone and have a personality disorder'. 'I may be off duty at the moment but don't think I can't make your life a misery if the spirit moves me'.
That sort of thing. We are materialists after all.
