And joker John sat inside the camera's casing and flashed all passing motorists no matter what speed they were doing - including one man in a mobility scooter.
Dad-of-two John, of the Wirral, Merseyside, said: "We were waiting outside for pizzas when I noticed a hole in the back of the speed camera.
"At that point I thought it would be a funny way of killing some time to climb up and flash the passing cars to see if they'd slow down.
"I just took a run-up and managed to climb in. I was quite surprised the next day, when I saw the speed camera, that I had managed it to be honest."
John and Sarah-Jane laughed as they saw drivers hit the brakes after being flashed by the phone camera in Towyn, North Wales, where they were on holiday - and waiting to pick up a pizza for their two children and John's mother.
Joiner John said: "I flashed one person who went by in a mobility scooter and told them to slow down.
