    better then speed humps

    Had this forwarded to me in a email.

    Even with a car thats not lowered i have a great problem with speed bumps and ramps turning off roads.

    I think this is a better solution...

    "Better than speed bumps - I don't know about you,
    But this would slow me down!
    People slow down and try to 'straddle' the hole, then
    Breath a sign of relief they completely clear it!
    This is actually a speed control device that is in use.
    Scroll down and look at all three pictures.
    And it is much cheaper than speed cameras





    Very clever, especially if moved around each day.

    Yeah that was my first thought!
    Dad was just telling me that in the past in california that they use to have cardboard cutouts of cop cars with camera to put thte wind up people, after a while people worked it out and started shoting the cardboard cut outs for fun or whatever...

    You can imagine what happens when there is randomly a real cop car sitting out there one day...
