This might make you slow down!

The other day a good friend of mine sent me some pictures of an experimental speed control device being tested in Canada!  Just imagine if you were flying down the road slurping your morning coffee, on the phone, while tuning your radio and you saw this……  

Now that might make you pop the brake a little!  The authorities claim that in initial tests these giant “stickers” are proving even more effective than far more costly forms of speed control……well I guess!!   Looks like you could lose you whole front end in one of these!  

They are so realistic that people slow to a crawl and attempt to straddle the holes, not recognizing even up close that they aren’t real.  Authorities are planning wide spread implementation which will be interesting no doubt. However I fear that if these same tests were conducted in Louisiana they would be met with far less exciting results.  I know a few roads that have the real deal and still people drive 70 and 80 hmmm……what does that say about us!!
