Australian town changes name to Speedkills
This is interesting...A tiny Australian town is changing its name as part of a quirky road safety campaign.
The town of Speed in Victoria, will be known as Speedkills for the month of March after locals decided to help promote safe driving.
Speed locals hope that their unique contribution to road safety will make drivers hit the brakes.
Phil Down, a local wheat and sheep farmer who is changing his name to Phil Slow Down for the month, said the aim of the name change was to encourage people to keep to the speed limit on country roads.
"We're trying to get people to stay within the speed limits, obey road safety rules ... realise that when they don't, people die".
So - What would you change YOUR name to in order to support a cause.
