A local resident in China has set up a sex doll to slow down speeding motorists.

Lin Chen from Ningbo tied the doll, dressed in revealing red underwear, to a tree in the hope that drivers would cut their speed to get a better look.

As a result, accident figures have dropped in the area, according to Orange.

A police spokesperson commented: "It isn't a method we would use, but we can't say it isn't working."

Chen, 67, explained: "There are a set of traffic lights near my house, and the cars just shoot through them as fast as they can. It's very dangerous.

"I thought that drivers would slow down if I could give them something worth looking at."
