The video of villagers challenging a radar has gone viral: "We need very little to be happy."

In Spain, the General Directorate of Traffic periodically implements various safety features, such as surveillance cameras and speed cameras , in order to reduce the number of traffic accidents and fatalities on our roads.

A few days ago, a speedometer placed in the Alicante town of Alcoy went viral. The town has approximately 60,000 inhabitants, a certain number of whom stand out for their strange and curious hobby.

What action do the inhabitants take?

Running races. Yes, you read that right. About twenty neighbors gather at night to "run a few races" and try to beat, precisely, the speed limit posted on a speedometer on the streets of Alcoy.

Surreal, but true. This radar was installed by the mayor of the municipality, and until then, no one expected the residents to use it for this purpose. It's a completely funny and nonviolent action, though, as they're just doing it for a laugh and causing a stir on social media.

Lamine Yamal's new car, which he won't be able to drive until his birthday.

How do they run the races?

Fortunately, the fastest residents won't have to pay any fines, as these are educational radars . In other words, these speedometers don't usually issue fines, but rather respond to the speed of each person/car with a happy face (if they're not exceeding the limit) or a disgruntled one if they are.

In this case, the radar is installed on a downhill slope of a street with a speed limit of 30 kilometers per hour , and as we've mentioned before, residents race each other on foot to try to exceed the speed limit, laughing. Of course, not everyone can do it. In the video, only one citizen can be seen exceeding it at 32 kilometers per hour. The rest, at 24, 22, 28, 27, 20...

Furor on the networks

This scene, understandably, has been commented on by thousands of users who have watched the video on the @cabronazi account. "We're so great. A simple improvised video has gone a long way" ; "It takes so little to be happy, I love Spain"; "I need friends like that in my life"; or "Repaying all of them for what that radar cost, I think it's great that they enjoy it like this," among others, have been some of the comments that have been seen about this funny and curious post.
